About this episode
Governments worldwide are implementing age-based bans on social media for minors to combat cyberbullying and mental health risks.
Governments worldwide are cracking down on social media for minors, with Australia and France leading the charge by banning kids under 16 and 15 respectively, citing cyberbullying, addiction, and mental health risks. Austria, Denmark, Canada, Germany, and Greece are following suit, pushing for age-based restrictions. Social media giants face hefty fines for failing to verify user ages, forcing them to build safer digital environments. While enforcement and effectiveness remain debated, the global push to protect young minds online is accelerating — and the conversation is only just beginning.
