Major tech companies have blocked 4.7 million accounts on their platforms following the world's first ban imposed by Australia on social media for those under 16 years of age. This move came in response to new legislative requirements in the country. Australian authorities claim the measure is aimed at protecting children from harmful content and online risks. Companies, including industry giants, were required to comply with this demand. As a result of the mass blocking, millions of users worldwide were affected. Experts are discussing the potential consequences of such a decision for the digital landscape.
