New Zealand plans to block under-16s from Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Facebook
New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has proposed banning children under 16 from social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Facebook. The bill would require age verification and could fine tech companies up to 10% of their global revenue for failing to comply. But the proposal faces strong political opposition and may not reach a vote before Parliament dissolves ahead of November's election.
