Reuters Australian teen challenges social media ban

A teenager suing the Australian government to overturn a ban on social media for under-16s says the measure would make the internet more dangerous for young people and be widely circumvented.

The law, due to take effect on December 10, would block minors from platforms like Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat. The government says the ban will protect children from harmful content and online predators.
