Vietnam is looking to restrict social media for kids; here are the growing number of other countries doing the same

Vietnam is following Australia's lead in restricting social media for kids, citing concerns over cyberbullying, addiction, and exposure to predators. This trend is growing globally, with multiple countries implementing similar measures. Australia was the first to issue a ban in late 2025. The restrictions aim to protect young users from online risks. The move is part of a broader effort to regulate social media.
