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 🥳
Meanwhile IMO forced verification of users had a much better success rate 😉

It was never about the kids, they just needed an excuse to lock down the internet and most Aussies fucking bought it. My countrymen are fucking dumb as shit, Aussies are only useful for digging holes out in the desert it would seem. Shame, we could be so much more.
