Australia's High Court has begun hearing a legal challenge seeking to overturn the country's ban on social media use by children under 16. The law, among the strictest of its kind globally, has drawn debate over children's online safety versus digital rights and platform responsibilities, with the court's ruling set to shape how the landmark restriction is enforced.
Why now: The court case tests a world-first law that other countries are watching closely.
