New Zealand to pursue social media ban for children under 16
Info
Summary
New Zealand is considering a law to ban social media access for children under 16, aiming to protect them from harm and promote better mental health. The legislation would involve significant fines for platforms that fail to implement age verification measures and requires ongoing monitoring of platform risks. This follows similar initiatives in Australia, though enforcement has proven challenging.
