South Korea considers social media ban for teens under 16
South Korea's nominee to lead the nation's media watchdog said Tuesday he would consider introducing a social media ban for users under 16, citing concerns about protecting minors from harmful online content and rising cyberterrorism threats. The statement comes less than a week after Australia became the first country to implement such a restriction.
South Korea's nominee for its media watchdog, Kim Jong-cheol, suggested during his parliamentary confirmation hearing that the country might consider implementing a social media ban for teenagers, citing the need for youth protection and the increasing use of AI in hacking and cyberterrorism.
