Which Country has enacted a world-first legislation to ban children under 16 from social media platforms such as TikTok, FB, Instagram etc. ?
Answer: B
The country is Australia.
In November 2024 Australia's Parliament passed a world-first law setting a minimum age of 16 for social media accounts, requiring platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and X to take reasonable steps to keep younger children off, with heavy fines for failure.
Switzerland, France and New Zealand had debated limits on children's use of social media, but none enacted this ban first.
