How Australian teens are coping with the social media ban

More than a month after Australia introduced the world’s first social media ban for children and teenagers, mixed reactions continue to emerge from the government, experts, and young people themselves. Implemented during the school holidays, the policy has reshaped how teens spend their time, connect with friends, and manage their mental wellbeing. This podcast features insights from young Australians, parents, and digital culture specialists, alongside perspectives from clinical psychologist Dr. Farah Khan.
