Both sides

For

  • Doctors say heavy social media use harms teenagers' sleep and mental health.
  • Australia passed such a law for under-16s in 2024; there are lessons to learn from it.
  • Parents say a clear law is easier than arguing about it at home.

Against

  • Apps would need ID documents to check age.
  • Teenagers study and stay in touch with friends through these apps.
  • Children may move to hidden, less safe apps.
