VIII. Reading — Social media bans (31–35)
Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each question from 31 to 35.
Australia and France have recently passed strict national laws to limit social media use among teenagers. Lawmakers say that these legal measures are necessary to reduce the mental health problems caused by cyberbullying, addiction, and constant exposure to harmful online materials.
In Australia, children who are under 16 are not allowed to use social platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Tech companies will be fined heavily if they can't prevent young children from creating profiles. The law aims to restrict digital freedom and cut teenagers off from unimportant online communities. However, supporters emphasize that protecting vulnerable youth from severe cyber risks is far more important than uncontrolled digital access.
Meanwhile, France has started a dynamic program targeting electronic device usage inside schools. French authorities have enforced a strong 'digital detox' policy that completely bans mobile phones for students under 15 throughout the school day. Educators believe that removing these devices can improve classroom concentration, decrease school bullying, and encourage children to interact face-to-face during breaks. While enforcing these policies requires strict monitoring, initial results indicate a positive change in student well-being.
What is the passage mainly about?
- Financial and legal problems faced by international digital technology companies.
- National policies in Australia and France to restrict social media use for teenagers.
- The historical development of social media platforms in some European countries.
