  "textContent": "I had a conversation with a friend who lives in Australia today. He said that his family members with teenage kids are saying that it’s ‘business as usual’ for Australian teens on social media. They find workarounds that quickly get shared amongst them. I wonder if the Australian government will do an assessment of the impact of their recent ban. It would be cynical if they didn’t.\n\nCoincidentally, this came up in my news feed today as well:\n\n# Did Australia’s under-16s social media ban work?\n\nbbc.com\n\n### Did Australia's under-16s social media ban work?\n\nThree months since it came into effect, teenagers tell the BBC how the world-first law has impacted their lives so far.",
