Australia’s decision to restrict social media for users under 16 has become a global test case for regulating Big Tech and protecting youth mental health. Parents like Dany Elachi see the rules as long overdue, while researchers like Ravi Iyer warn of real psychological risks tied to excessive use. But social media executives such as Snap’s Jennifer Park Stout question whether bans can work in practice, as children find workarounds and platforms struggle to enforce age limits.
