Looking at what kids today are into, it’s pretty wild to think about how different things were when we grew up. But in Australia, they’re trying to bring back a bit of that old-school vibe. They’re banning social media for anyone under 16—yup, that’s Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, even YouTube. The goal? Let kids actually be kids again—go outside, ride bikes, scrape knees, and maybe even discover life without scrolling through feeds.
Maybe they’ll even get a taste of what we did for fun before social media took over. You know, hanging out in someone’s garage, chirping strangers over video games, and figuring out which friends’ parents were cool with a few “beverages” in their basement.
