Australia recently became the first country to ban social media use for children under 16. This move has sparked lively discussions among parents worldwide. Many worry about the effects of apps like TikTok and Instagram on young minds. In Spain, a father said his 14-year-old daughter often bypasses parental controls and wants the government to step in. He called such laws "necessary, not drastic or excessive." Similarly, in Denmark, some parents choose simple flip phones for kids to avoid addictive apps. Meanwhile, in Britain, a survey showed 83% of parents would support a law like Australia's. But opinions are divided. Some parents, like a mother in Paris, feel that government bans may be too harsh. In Kenya, parents struggle with the challenge as smartphones play a big role in education and life. In Germany, a review of a petition for social media age limits showed mixed feelings. One parent called the issue "a global crisis," highlighting the urgency many feel. As countries like Malaysia and Denmark consider their own rules, the battle between protecting children and embracing technology continues.
