Assessing early effects of Australia's Social Media Minimum Age Act on adolescents' social media use: observational study
Listen to this summary
The study aimed to assess the early effects of Australia's Social Media Minimum Age Act 2024, which set a minimum age of 16 for social media accounts, on adolescents' social media use. Findings indicated that while many adolescents under 16 continued to use social media, with some reporting attempts to circumvent age verification, there was no significant reduction in overall social media use among this group. The results suggest that the Act has not yet achieved its intended goal of delaying access to social media for younger adolescents.
