Australia's push to restrict social media access for under-16s is raising eyebrows globally. The question now isn't whether it's justified—it's which countries will follow suit. Other nations are already watching closely, weighing similar age-gate policies. From Singapore to the EU, regulators are exploring comparable measures. What does this mean for the crypto and Web3 space? As governments tighten control over youth digital exposure, the implications ripple across decentralized platforms and on-chain communities. Will age verification become a standard gating mechanism? How might this reshape youth engagement with blockchain networks and decentralized finance? The regulatory playbook is being written in real-time, and the next move could come sooner than expected.
