Children are growing up inside digital platforms that shape their emotions, attention, and identity long before they understand how those systems work. In this episode of Anatomy of Disinformation, we examine whether governments are finally stepping in to protect minors online.
Australia has introduced a landmark restriction on social media accounts for children under 16. Is it effective? Are platforms really enforcing it? And could this model spread globally?
Maia Mazurkiewicz speaks with Terry Flew from the University of Sydney about how the Australian policy works in practice, public reaction, and the role of AI in age verification. The episode also exposes how video games and online platforms are increasingly used as vehicles for propaganda and disinformation.
In the final part, Joanna Sterzyńska-Lindberg from the European Commission Representation in Poland discusses whether Europe is ready for similar restrictions and where the balance lies between child protection and digital freedom.
As algorithms play a growing role in raising the next generation, the question is no longer if we should act but how far we are willing to go.
