On Dec. 10, Australia became the first country in the world to block social media for children under 16. According to Reuters, major platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook were ordered to block accounts for under 16s and prevent them from registration, or they face huge fines. This move was backed by parents and child advocates, but criticised by tech giants. Authorities mention that the law aims to tackle online harms and mental health issues linked to social media usage among young users. #fyp #fypsg #singapore #australia #news
