Meta removes 500,000 teen accounts under Australian ban

Meta reports removing over 500,000 teen accounts from Instagram and Facebook following Australia's new social media age restrictions, though the company criticises the ban's effectiveness in improving youth safety. A survey reveals Australians rate local councils highest among the three tiers of government at 56% approval, compared to 46% for state governments and 39% for federal government. Political commentators debate both the practical impact of social media age restrictions and whether Australia should reduce its three tiers of government.
