MEXICO CITY, March 12, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Mexico is considering implementing an Australia-style social media restriction for minors, Public Education Secretary Mario Delgado told AFP. Several nations are toughening up age restrictions on social media platforms as concerns grow over excessive screen time for children and their exposure to harmful content online. Australia has since December required TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and other top social media services to remove accounts held by under-16s, or face heavy fines. French lawmakers in January approved a social media ban for under-15s, although it still needs to be ratified by the Senate. And that's where we should think about setting certain limits," Delgado told AFP.
