💨 Abstract

Australia plans to ban social media for children under 16, with legislation to be introduced this year. The ban is aimed at protecting children's physical and mental health, particularly girls from harmful body image depictions and misogynist content. The ban could come into effect as soon as the end of next year. The opposition party has expressed support for the ban, and there will be no exemptions for children with parental consent or existing accounts.
