New Zealand moves to ban social media for under-16s
New Zealand is developing restrictions to block children under 16 from social media, following a regional trend of limiting youth technology use. While the government moves forward, none of the seven main political parties have released new media and communication policies two months before the general election. Only the Green Party maintains a media policy, which is a repeat of its 2023 platform. This effort mirrors Australian initiatives and contrasts with EU expert warnings that total bans may be ineffective, as Australian experience suggests teenagers find ways around such obstacles.

New Zealand pursues social media ban for under-16s amid election silence
New Zealand is developing restrictions to block children under 16 from social media, following a regional trend of limiting youth technology use. While the government moves forward, none of the seven main political parties have released new media and communication policies two months before the general election. Only the Green Party maintains a media policy, which is a repeat of its 2023 platform. This effort mirrors Australian initiatives and contrasts with EU expert warnings that total bans may be ineffective, as Australian experience suggests teenagers find ways around such obstacles.
Why it matters
Governments are increasingly attempting to regain authority over private tech entities to protect youth. This shift occurs as international leaders, including Italian President Sergio Mattarella, argue that states must restore sovereignty over powerful private companies to protect human dignity. The effectiveness of age-based bans remains a point of global contention between regulators and safety experts.
What is confirmed
- New Zealand is developing restrictions to block children under 16 from accessing social media.
- Australia's My Feed, My Way initiative allows users to control algorithmic feeds and increases social media company penalties to $109 million.
- The Green Party's current media policy is a repeat of its 2023 policy.
Still unconfirmed
- Over 130 experts and groups urged the European Union to prioritize platform safety measures over total bans for minors.

New Zealand pursues social media ban for minors under 16
New Zealand is developing restrictions to block children under 16 from accessing social media. This move aligns with a regional trend to limit youth technology use. Similar efforts in Australia include the My Feed, My Way initiative, which allows users to control algorithmic feeds and increases penalties for social media companies to $109 million. In contrast, over 130 experts and groups have urged the European Union to prioritize platform safety measures over implementing total bans for minors.
Why it matters
The initiative reflects growing government concerns over the impact of social media on youth mental health and development.

New Zealand Moves Toward Under-16 Social Media Ban
New Zealand is working to restrict social media access for children under 16 as part of a broader regional effort to curb youth technology use. This initiative mirrors recent Australian legislation, such as the My Feed, My Way initiative, which gives users control over algorithmic feeds and raises penalties for social media companies to $109 million. Meanwhile, more than 130 groups and experts are urging the European Union to focus on platform safety rather than imposing outright bans on minors.
Why it matters
Governments across the globe are increasingly targeting youth online exposure through strict regulatory measures and age restrictions. While some nations pursue outright prohibitions for younger demographics, advocacy groups push for alternative approaches that mandate platform safety improvements. These contrasting policies highlight an intense global debate over how to regulate adolescent technology consumption.

Australia Proposes Social Media Algorithm Opt-Outs
Australia introduced legislation on Tuesday allowing users to opt out of algorithmic social media feeds. The federal government unveiled the digital duty of care bill, known as the My Feed, My Way initiative, which forces platforms to give Australians control over recommended content based on demographics and interests. Meanwhile, the Labor government is moving to double maximum penalties for social media companies to $109 million under these reforms. New Zealand is also pursuing stricter digital controls, aligning with regional efforts to curb youth technology use and restrict social media access for children under 16.
Why it matters
Governments across the region are increasing pressure on major technology companies through heavy fines and regulatory frameworks. Australia recently launched five investigations into potential breaches of its under-16 social media ban. New Zealand has similarly instituted legal obligations for schools to keep children off mobile phones.
What is confirmed
- Australians will be able to opt out of algorithmic social media feeds under proposed digital duty of care legislation unveiled by the federal government on Tuesday.
- The Australian government announced plans on Tuesday to force social media platforms to allow users to opt out of algorithms through the My Feed, My Way initiative.

New Zealand mandates school smartphone bans amid social media restrictions
New Zealand schools now have a legal obligation to keep children off mobile phones, though teachers remain divided on the most effective enforcement methods. This development complements the government's broader effort to prohibit social media access for children under 16 through strict age verification and heavy fines. These measures align with similar digital restrictions in Australia and Kazakhstan, as the region moves toward tighter control over youth technology use to mitigate systemic issues caused by major tech platforms.
Why it matters
The policy shift reflects a growing regional trend to limit youth digital access. New Zealand's plan threatens non-compliant platforms with fines up to 10% of global revenue. This follows similar age-based bans and digital duty of care discussions in Australia.

- Schools have a legal obligation to keep children off mobile phones.

New Zealand's prime minister intends to ban social media for children under 16, proposing fines up to 10% of global revenue for non-compliant platforms. The plan requires enhanced age verification and has gained support from the main opposition party. This legislative push mirrors a recent law in Australia, though that measure had minimal impact. Kazakhstan's President Tokayev has expressed support for a similar ban, indicating a growing international trend toward restricting youth access to social platforms through strict financial penalties and verification mandates.
Why it matters
The proposal seeks to address youth safety and mental health by shifting the burden of age verification onto platforms. It follows a pattern of similar attempts in other jurisdictions to regulate digital access for minors. The effectiveness of such bans remains debated given the limited results of the Australian law.
