Which countries have banned social media for kids?
Countries are increasingly restricting social media access for children. Australia has enacted the world's most sweeping ban, barring under-16s from platforms including Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat from late 2025. Other governments, including in Europe and Asia, are weighing similar rules as concern grows over social media's impact on youth mental health, with debate continuing over enforcement and privacy.
Why now: Australia's under-16 social media ban has reignited global debate over whether other countries should follow suit.
