Mixed reactions from teens after Australia’s social media ban

Mixed reactions from teens after Australia’s social media ban

One month after Australia banned social media for children under 16 years of age, some teens say they feel better, while others are finding ways around it.

14-year-old Amy says she feels free without Snapchat and now uses her phone less, but 13-year-old Aahil still uses apps like YouTube and Snapchat with fake birthdays and says nothing has changed.

Some teens are now using WhatsApp and Messenger to stay in touch while others tried new apps like Lemon8 and Coverstar.

Experts say many teens miss the social side of platforms, not just the content. The full impact of the ban is still unfolding.
