Did Australia's under-16s social media ban work?
The BBC spoke to Australian teenagers about the under-16s social media ban, three months since the law came into force on 10 December 2025.
Under the law, social media companies must take "reasonable steps" to keep kids off their platforms, and face fines off up to A$49.5m (£24.5m) if they fail to do so.
Children and parents are not punished for infringing the ban.
According to the Australian government, 4.7 million under-16 accounts were deactivated, removed or restricted within the first few days of the ban.
