Could New Zealand Actually Ban Under-16s From Social Media?
Could New Zealand actually keep under-16s off social media? Kai dives into New Zealand’s proposed under-16 social media restrictions — and the slightly ridiculous question of how you actually prove someone’s age on the internet. From teenagers magically being “born in 1987” to facial age estimation deciding a 20-year-old is 14, Kai looks at the different ways platforms could verify age and the privacy questions that come with handing over ID or other personal information just to open an app. There’s also the social side: what happens when half a Year 11 friend group is 15 and the other half is 16? Would teenagers actually follow the restrictions? And could tighter rules have unintended consequences for young people who use social media for more than just scrolling?
