Australia's Prime Minister announced plans to make the ban on children's social media use the strictest in the world.

According to Reuters, the six-month-old law has had little effect on teenagers' habits.

The government will stress-test laws banning Meta, Instagram, Google, and YouTube from allowing under-16s to open accounts.

PM Albanese stated the goal is to make legislation robust against legal challenges. He also highlighted empowering the eSafety Commissioner.

A British Medical Journal study found 85% of Australians aged 12-15 continued using social platforms three months after the ban.
