Fines doubled as teens outsmart Australia's world-first social media ban

Australia has raised the stakes in its attempt to protect young users from social media by doubling fines after it became clear that seven out of ten children are still on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. Despite the world's first ban on under-16s using these platforms, Big Tech has been accused of finding ways around the rules. This move highlights the ongoing struggle to enforce regulations in an era where technology constantly evolves to circumvent restrictions, raising questions about the effectiveness of such bans in the long run.
