சமூக ஊடகங்களை 16 வயதுக்கு உள்பட்டோர் பயன்படுத்தத் தடை..!

According to Polimer News, the Australian government has faced challenges in enforcing a ban on social media usage for individuals under the age of 16, which was reportedly implemented in December. An investigation conducted by the national internet regulatory authority suggests that despite the legislative measures, approximately 80 percent of the targeted demographic continues to access social media platforms.

Social advocates have pointed to this data as evidence of the significant difficulties in monitoring the digital habits of teenagers, whose daily lives are increasingly integrated with online social networks. The study highlights the complex nature of enforcing age-based restrictions in a digital environment where workarounds are common.

Despite the challenges, government officials maintain that the policy is a necessary step for the physical and mental well-being of children. Minister Andrew Leigh, in comments regarding the study, noted that the initiative has resulted in the deactivation of millions of accounts and has encouraged more open dialogue between parents and children. While acknowledging that the policy has not achieved 100 percent compliance, the government indicated that the restrictions will remain in place as they continue to evaluate the long-term impact of the regulation.
