The UK government is consulting on whether to ban social media for under-16s, with campaigners urging action similar to Australia's restrictions; however, surveys indicate approximately 60% of Australian teenagers report finding ways to circumvent such bans, including using makeup to appear older and exploiting technology loopholes, raising questions about the effectiveness of age-based social media restrictions.

"Is social media as bad for young people as smoking?"Ajouté :
The row on whether to impose social media restrictions for under 16s that's heating up consultation coming to an end this week within the government about where they will go. The prime minister later he's actually meeting with bereieved families parents and campaigners and they're urging Kharma to follow in the footsteps of the Australia style ban that's been happening over there. Lots of teenagers have said around 60% in Australia say it's not working. That we're finding ways around it. It's extraordinary, will kids wearing makeup to get around the age restriction uh technology on some devices and uh platforms and senior political figures here in the UK are now uh wading in on this too. So we had wedge streeting compare tech companies to the tobacco industry. Again, another very powerful uh image there. He's basically saying we've got to give children their childhood back. Again, really strong. Um and that's in his first interview since quitting the government. And then you would have seen Angela Raina um over the weekend uh she was talking on a podcast and and she was saying that something clearly needs to be done here um and that she's essentially pushing Kiss Armor to make a ban.
