Ban social media access for under-16s. We think this could protect their mental health and childhood. Evidence shows it can cause harm, exposing children to bullying, addiction and inappropriate content. Follow Australia’s lead to prioritise their well-being. Social media can wait—childhood cannot.

We think the government could introduce strict age verification, legislation holding platforms accountable, and promote real-world activities and digital literacy in schools. We believe social media can harm children's development. By acting now, we think the government can protect childhood, encourage healthier habits, and ensure children are ready to navigate social media as adults.
