New Zealand is poised to become the latest country cracking down on social media for minors, with a sweeping bill aiming to ban anyone under 16 from platforms like TikTok and Instagram—backed by hefty fines for non-compliant companies.

With parliamentary votes looming, the law’s future hinges on reconciling safety concerns with digital freedoms—and whether this bold move will actually work where others have stumbled.
