The global trend of banning social media use for children and adolescents is growing. The main reason behind this policy is concern about child sexual exploitation, cyberbullying, negative impacts on mental health, and addictive app features. Some countries that have implemented or are planning to implement this ban include Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, the European Union, and France. However, the effectiveness of this policy is still being questioned and raises concerns about digital privacy and freedom of expression.
