Australia is introducing a world-first social media ban for children under 16, with new legislation requiring major online platforms to prevent young users from accessing their services.
The new rules apply to major social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube. Companies that fail to comply could face fines of up to $50 million.
The legislation has been driven in part by grieving mothers Emma Mason and Mia Bannister, whose children died by suicide after experiencing bullying linked to social media.

The Australian government says the measure is aimed at protecting children and teenagers from the potential harms associated with social media, including online bullying and other risks to young users.
The ban has sparked an international debate over children's online safety, parental responsibility, social media regulation and the role of technology companies in protecting minors.
As Australia becomes the first country to introduce such a broad age restriction, governments around the world are watching closely to see how the policy affects children, families and social media companies.
