  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.

The article from Yahoo News discusses a study by the eSafety Commissioner in Australia, which found that teenagers are increasingly using social media platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram, with a significant portion of them experiencing online bullying. The study revealed that 40% of teenagers aged 12-18 have encountered cyberbullying, with the most common forms being verbal abuse and the spreading of rumors. The report also highlighted that many teens feel pressured to maintain a perfect online image, leading to negative mental health impacts. In response, the eSafety Commissioner is advocating for stronger online safety measures and better education for both teens and parents on how to navigate social media safely.
