On December 10th, Australia became the first country to ban social media for children under the age of 16, a move that sparked strong and mixed reactions nationwide. Some applauded the government for taking a bold stand to protect young minds, while others questioned its feasibility from the start. Just one month later, cracks have already appeared. The ban is far from airtight, enforcement remains unclear, and loopholes are easy to exploit. This has left many asking what the true purpose was, and at what cost. A groundbreaking idea, perhaps, but one delivered with a decidedly mediocre result.
