Australia's social media ban for teens is flawed because it may not effectively prevent harm and could push teens to unregulated spaces. Blanket age bans ignore adolescents' varying maturity levels and fail to address deeper issues, such as the need for better digital safeguards. While the law forces important conversations about youth protection online, it comes with a lack of comprehensive solutions.
