A new AIC study surveyed 382 high school students in Australia aged 11-15 years to understand their attitudes and planned responses to Australia's social media restrictions.
- One in five (21.8%) young people said they would continue to use the restricted platforms, and 60.7 percent thought other young people would do so.
- Of those who said they would use restricted platforms, most either did not yet know how they would do so (43.6%) or planned to give a fake age (39.7%), while 2.6 percent said they would use a VPN.
- Boys, older children and those who spent more time online were more likely to say they would use restricted platforms, highlighting the need for targeted messaging to these groups.
