As of December 11 this year, social media companies will be required to take "reasonable steps" to prevent Australians under sixteen from using their platforms.

Australians are not the only ones waiting to find out how the ban will work.

New Zealand, Greece, France and Spain are among other countries considering implementing similar minimum age bans.

With Australia the first country to attempt to implement this kind of policy, the results could have global impact.
