The first national ban on teen social-media accounts is controversial, imperfect, and a reminder of what real political will on behalf of young people actually looks like.
Young people don’t vote, old people do. Sadly. The young and future generations will never be prioritised by a government looking to preserve its power, building a better future for those that follow (especially free from the dopamine addiction of being chronically online) is a nice to have not a need to have.
Very interesting the perks of Australia’s enforced voting. Much higher youth turnout, reduces the incentive to favour pensioners over youth.. I personally am a big fan of the system, although I struggle to imagine anyone bringing it in and not immediately getting voted out next election!

And there lies the issue, anyone who genuinely cares about this if they enacted it would be cutting off their note to spite their face.
