If you have been wondering about the effectiveness of the social media ban of under 15 year olds, this study got you :)

Spoiler: 92%+ of kids age 14-15 in Australia still use it 🥳

Meanwhile IMO forced verification of users had a much better success rate 😉

Accessible parental controls ARE the way forward.
NOT digital ID and biometrics verification.

Supporting the latter shows a clear stance against privacy.

Also a strong informational campaign IMO. It's taken decades, but it's worked for smoking, and alcohol.
