The ban for under-16s in Australia came into effect in December last year - but what does it look like?
 
In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced today that under-16s will be banned from social media by spring 2027.
 
The government said Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X are among the platforms affected - but not WhatsApp and Signal.
