Analysis-Australia's teen social media ban faces a new wildcard: teenagers

SYDNEY (Reuters) -When 13-year-old Jasmine Elkin tried out the age-checking software Australia might use to ban children and teenagers from social media, she was surprised some products could identify a person's age to the month - but she still doubts it will work. Elkin's view echoes one of the main concerns of child protection advocates, tech firms and even the trial organisers about the technology Australia hopes will enable the world's first national social ban for under-16s: the software works, they say, but young people will find a way around it. From December, social companies like Meta's Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok will face a fine of as much as A$49.5 million ($32.17 million) if they fail to take what the law calls "reasonable steps" to block younger users in an effort to protect their mental and physical health.

Social media beats TV as top American news source for first time, study finds

In an age of news on social media, here's how to keep a critical eye online.

A recent study by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism has found that social media has surpassed television as the primary news source for Americans, marking a significant shift in media consumption habits. The study, which surveyed over 93,500 individuals across 46 countries, revealed that 44% of Americans now rely on social media platforms like TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and others for news, compared to 33% who prefer television. This trend is particularly pronounced among younger demographics, with 57% of 18-24 year olds using social media for news. The rise of social media as a news source is attributed to its convenience, the ability to personalize content, and the influence of algorithms that tailor news feeds to individual preferences.
