Australian Boy Sues Over Law Banning Social Media for Young Teens

A teenager suing the Australian government to overturn a ban on social media for under-16s says the measure would make the Internet more dangerous for young people and be widely circumvented. The law, due to take effect on December 10, would block minors from platforms such as Meta's Instagram, TikTok and Snap's Snapchat. The government says the ban will protect children from harmful content and online predators.
