Australian Prime Minister Defends Social Media Ban Amid Teen Resistance
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has defended the country's new law banning social media accounts for users under 16, despite reports of teenagers finding ways to bypass the restrictions. The law, which targets major platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, imposes fines for non-compliance. While the government aims to protect young users from online harm, the rollout has faced challenges, with some teens openly defying the ban. The law has garnered international attention, with other countries considering similar measures.
