New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has announced plans to introduce a bill in Parliament to ban social media use by children under the age of 16.
The proposed legislation would also impose significant fines on social media platforms that allow under-16s to maintain accounts in violation of the legal requirements.
Under the proposal, social media companies could face fines of up to 10% of their global revenue for failing to comply with the restrictions.
The move is aimed at protecting children from potential risks associated with social media use, according to reports.
