'I'll Find A Way': Australian Teens Shocking Reaction To World-First Ban on Social Media for Under16

In a world-first move, Australia has passed a law banning children under the age of 16 from using social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

The law, which was approved by parliament with bipartisan support, aims to protect kids from the harmful effects of online content, including body image issues and cyberbullying.

But the legislation has sparked mixed reactions across the nation, with some applauding the government's commitment to child safety, while others question how it will be enforced and if it infringes on personal freedoms. Is this bold new law the right solution or an overreach?

Trump Pushes Supreme Court to Block TikTok Ban: Will ByteDance Be Forced to Sell or Face Shutdown?

Donald Trump's involvement in the TikTok issue stems from his actions as President of the United States in 2020. Back then, he sought to ban TikTok over national security concerns, citing fears that the app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, could potentially share user data with the Chinese government. His administration attempted to force ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. company or face a nationwide ban. #Trump #TikTokBan #SupremeCourt #ByteDance #NationalSecurity #TikTokDebate #USPolitics #SocialMedia #TechPolicy #FreeSpeech #TikTokFuture #TrumpVsBiden ~PR.274~ED.103~HT.334~
