Parents in Australia: is the under-16s social media ban working?

silverguide.site –

Six months after Australia introduced its under-16 social media ban, supporters say it is helping to protect young people online, while critics argue many teenagers are still using social media and that the restrictions are difficult to enforce.

As countries including the UK consider similar measures, and the Australian government is promoting the ban as a model for others, we’d like to hear from parents and carers about how it has affected their families.

Do you think the ban is working? What impact has it had on your child and your family? Has it reduced your child’s social media use, or have they found ways around it?
