Since the passage of the Online Safety Act 2023 in the United Kingdom and the publication of The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt in 2024, which became the catalyst for Australia's social media ban, many countries across the globe have passed or proposed laws to require age verification for parts of the internet including social networks, social media services, devices, and other digital services with the intention of protecting young people from harmful and illegal content. Such laws began primarily after Australia's social media ban for under-16-year-olds which was passed on 28 November 2024 and came into force on 10 December 2025. Legislation regarding social media age verification began in the United States at the state level after Utah passed the Utah Social Media Regulation Act in March 2023. It was challenged due to First Amendment concerns and has not been taken into effect. These bills and laws vary greatly, with some of them restricting access only to certain features or distinguishing between different users online, which could lead to companies requiring age verification to comply with such restrictions as the Kids Online Safety Act, or banning users under a certain age, which is the approach of the Online Safety Amendment in Australia which fully prohibits anyone under 16 years old from holding social media accounts. A few nations, such as Pakistan punish those who allow minors to access these services.
