Australia Defends Teen Social Media Ban in Top Court Challenge
Original: Australia Social Media Teen Ban a 'Modest' Step, Says Government in Top Court Challenge
Australia's government is defending its ban on social media use for under-16s in a legal challenge before the country's top court, describing the restriction as a 'modest' step rather than an extreme measure. The case tests whether the world-first law, which forces platforms to keep teenagers off their services, is legally valid, with the government arguing it is a proportionate child-safety measure.
Why now: The high-profile court challenge tests the legality of Australia's world-first under-16 social media ban.
