 Malaysia may bar social media use for under-16s starting next year

Malaysia is planning to restrict social media access for users under 16 starting next year, following in the footsteps of countries like Australia.

He expressed hope that by next year, social media companies will comply with the mandate to prevent under-16s from creating accounts.

The move would align Malaysia with a growing number of nations implementing age restrictions or verification measures to protect children online. Australia’s law, set to take effect December 10, requires platforms to deactivate accounts belonging to users under 16. France, Denmark, Italy, and Norway are also considering similar rules, while in the U.S., 24 states have passed age-verification laws, with Utah requiring app stores to verify age and obtain parental consent for minors. The U.K.’s Online Safety Act, effective July, mandates strong age checks and blocks children from harmful online content, with penalties for noncompliance.
