Australia has passed a law that aims to prevent people younger than 16 from using social media. The law is meant to protect young people, but some people say it could create more problems than it solves. Starting in January 2025, Australia tested ways to carry out the law.

Under the new law, social media companies must take "reasonable steps" to prevent anyone under 16 from creating an account. If the companies do not follow the law, they could be fined up to 32 million. The law doesn't influence all social media platforms. YouTube Kids is not included because it's often used in schools.
Most people in Australia seem to agree with the law. Recent surveys show that 77% of people in Australia are in favour of the law. People are worried about how social media can hurt young people's mental health. Many people have heard sad stories about young people. They have been bullied online and later hurt themselves.
But not everyone agrees that the new law is a good idea. Some people believe the law will make it harder for young people to connect with others who can support them. Others worry that the social media ban will push young people toward less safe parts of the Internet.
One of the biggest worries is how the social media companies will find out how old their users are. The law says the companies must give people a way to prove their age without sending in a government ID, but it's not clear how this might work. This raises worries about the privacy of young people.
Around the world, there are serious worries about the effects of social media on young people. Countries like France, the UK and Norway are considering similar laws.
