They banned social media for kids under 16.
Not next year.
Not gradually.
Not with warnings.
The day the law passed, child accounts under 16 were deleted across multiple social media platforms.

| Australia banned social media |
Gone.
Think about that.
Years of posts.
Group chats.
Followers.
Digital identities.
Erased overnight.
Supporters say this is long overdue.
Kids’ mental health is collapsing.
Attention spans are wrecked.
Anxiety and depression are skyrocketing.
Critics say it’s government overreach.
That parents should decide.
That enforcement is messy.
That this opens the door to more control.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth.
For the first time, a country didn’t ask Big Tech nicely.
They didn’t rely on parental settings.
They didn’t pretend age limits work.
They enforced it.
Whether you love it or hate it, this isn’t theoretical anymore.
Australia drew a line.
And now the rest of the world gets to argue about whether that line should exist at all.
