The world's first social media ban for children under 16 was
rolled out in Australia in December 2025. Australia is noted for
priding itself on being strong on regulation and being at the
forefront of change, with the law being a bold, new move. It's
aimed at trying to make tech platforms more responsible for what
they are doing with algorithms that target early teenagers, and
to protect children from online harms while attempting to claim
their childhood.

The intent is good, but could it actually work and more
importantly, is this something that we could see happen
globally?

My assignment on this episode is to dig deeper into the social
media ban to understand the good and the bad of this law, and
it's global significance.

My guest is Dr Ross Tapsell, an associate professor at the School
of Culture, History and Language at the Australian National
University.
