Australia has a new law that prohibits teenagers under 16 from registering accounts on some social media platforms.

The government says this can protect children and reduce the impact of cyberbullying and harmful content.

This law mainly holds social media companies responsible, not parents or children.

Now, teenagers cannot log in with their own accounts, but they can still browse some content, just without personalized recommendations.

Some worry this will cause teenagers who need online support to lose contact, such as those living in remote areas or children needing special help.

Although the law aims to protect everyone, cyberbullying and mental health issues still need more help and education.

We should listen to teenagers' opinions and help them use the internet safely and healthily.
