"Australia pledges tougher enforcement of social media ban for teens" over "Eighty per cent of Australian children escape social media ban "
It feels like this entire failed policy is just a way to avoid having to actually regulate social media companies
They are incredibly predatory, sell personal data, manipulative in a way designed to drive addiction, and its closed so it makes regulation impossible
This ban pretty much implies that these things are fine in general, which they are not
