AI Summary

Almost a year after Australia introduced its landmark social‑media ban, the measure has not prevented most children from accessing the platforms. Teenagers are now attempting to overturn the policy by taking the case to the High Court, where hearings began on 3 November. Primary witness Noah Jones argues that young Australians have a right to participate in the “digital town square” and should not be excluded from technology. The challenge seeks to reverse the ban that has proven ineffective at limiting youth access.
