Show Notes
Global nations are taking swift action to protect young minds online, implementing strict regulations on social media platforms for under-sixteens. Australia led the charge, banning kids from platforms like TikTok and Instagram, with fines up to $34 million US. Indonesia is following suit, starting a gradual ban this month. Brazils new law requires kids to link accounts to guardians and demands real age checks. Austria plans a ban for under-fourteens by June, while France approves one for under-fifteens starting next school year. The US, however, is still waiting for federal rules, as the global push to safeguard kids digital lives gains momentum.
