Tech companies could be fined up to A$50m ($32.5m; Β£25.7m) if they don't comply. But as many parents know, keeping teenagers off social media is a challenge. So, can a ban like this really work? And how might it be implemented? Lucy Hockings speaks to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's cyber correspondent Joe Tidy and our Sydney correspondent Katy Watson.
