School bullies have moved online. But is banning all under-16s from social media really the answer?
November 24, 2024
The Australian government has proposed a ban on children under 16 from using social media. The ban is expected to apply to services including TikTok, X, Instagram and Snapchat, though a full list has not been released. The legislation follows several high-profile cases of children taking their own lives citing online bullying and complaints from parents about the pressure their children face to be online. Many parents and pro-ban campaigners have lauded the bill as a long-overdue measure to hold tech companies accountable for the tools Australian children use online. However, critics say the proposed ban is a blunt instrument that will reduce teens’ access to support networks and create greater risks for those who defy the ban. CNN's Hanako Montgomery has the report.

Trueblood Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA. Bredt’s rule, established in 1924, has long dictated that certain double bonds cannot exist at specific positions on organic molecules due to geometric constraints. This rule has limited chemists’ ability to design and synthesize certain compounds, particularly in drug discovery efforts.
