Looks like Australia's social media ban came into effect. Age verification appears based on 1) facial scan age estimation or 2) ID scan. This in turn appears to be done by third party companies, so opens doors to privacy issues / leaks.

Excited to see these studies (finally) published in Scientific Reports! 🚨
S1: More social media users perceived themselves as addicted than met clinical addiction criteria.
S2: Increasing perceived addiction hurt perceived control over use and increased self-blame for overuse.
