Politicians Want an Age Check for Social Media, But Is It Effective?
Age restrictions for social media are difficult to enforce. Initial results from Australia, where social media is banned for those under 16, are also not encouraging.

The effectiveness of these measures is therefore questioned, with uncertainty about their impact on youth social media use.
