"In the months leading up to the implementation of Australia’s social media ban
in December 2025, there was much discussion about the possible negative
consequences.
Among these were concerns that teenagers would consume less news. As most young
adults use social media for news and many rely on it, this was a real risk.
So months on, has this come to pass? In our newly-published research, we found
the more young people are impacted by the ban, the more likely they are to
report they are getting less news and having less opportunity to discuss news
and the issues that matter to them."
