Children it is planned that they will be banned from most social media from early spring next year 2027. This case where a 10 year old child who is now 13 in this article doesn't seem like they will be able to do this any more.

Overall I think a ban on social media will be a good thing, but, kids are way more tech savy than adults and will probably find ways around it if they really want too.
I hope it stops things like the exploitation of children from videos like this, but I doubt it will, some parents see thier children as money making opportunities, where do you draw the line? Whilst we all agree that young children doing make=up and skin care routines is bad, what about child models and actors?
Will have to see how a ban pans out and how they are going to implement it. On one hand it will be tough to stop all usage, but the other hand at least children won't be used to market to other children? An end to child influencers? (or will the parents post if from their accounts and slip round the ban? We'll need more info to know what it will actually look like in practice I guess.
