澳大利亚禁止使用16岁以下社交媒体的禁令表明,在减少青年使用率和改善福利方面早期取得了成功,但执法和准入方面的挑战依然存在。 Australia's under-16 social media ban shows early success in reducing youth usage and improving well-being, but enforcement and access challenges persist.

在澳大利亚对16岁以下者实行严格的社交媒体年龄限制两个月后,早期数据显示青年平台使用量有所下降,主要应用程序增加了年龄核查工作。 Two months after Australia enacted strict social media age limits for under-16s, early data shows a decline in youth platform use, with major apps increasing age verification efforts. 虽然一些家长和心理健康倡导者注意到福祉得到改善,筛查时间缩短,但对执法、假账户和数字排斥仍然感到关切。 While some parents and mental health advocates note improved well-being and reduced screen time, concerns remain over enforcement, fake accounts, and digital exclusion. 该法的长期影响取决于持续执行和持续评价。 The law’s long-term impact depends on consistent implementation and ongoing evaluation.
