New Zealand’s prime minister proposes banning children from using social media

New Zealand's Prime Minister Christopher Luxon proposed a law banning children younger than 16 from using social media platforms, citing harm done to young people. The proposal would require platforms like Instagram and TikTok to verify users are older than 16, potentially using facial age estimation or digital ID services. However, the bill faces political opposition, as two of the three parties in Luxon’s coalition government plan to vote against it.
