If you have been wondering about the effectiveness of the social media ban of under 15 year olds, this study got you :)

Spoiler: 92%+ of kids age 14-15 in #Australia still use it πŸ₯³

Meanwhile IMO forced verification of users had a much better success rate πŸ˜‰

Even though my young days are very much in the past, I do remember that rebellion is an activator and far more interesting than following rules and regulations 😁

@avlcharlie yep never the well being, always good to exploit, we need to keep raising awareness and fighting back, I don't want the next generation to deal with more of the same! ✊
