Episode Details

The UK is poised to ban social media for anyone under sixteen, following overwhelming parental support in a major public consultation, with details expected for Parliament by Christmas. Australia already enforces a similar ban, fining platforms millions for underage use—though it excludes dating and gaming sites, sparking backlash. Experts warn social media may be a “cancer on society,” harming youth mental health, while U.S. states like Utah attempt to regulate platforms as addictive products, facing legal hurdles over free speech. As global efforts intensify, the UK and Australia’s approaches may offer crucial lessons in protecting the next generation.
