Social Media Age Law Map
The minimum age set by each country's social media law or plan, mapped — with the status of each underneath, because a plan is not a law.
Eight countries have a confirmed law, bill or official plan setting a social media minimum age as of 16 October 2026: 16 in Australia, Malaysia, Brazil, the UK and Canada, and 15 in Turkey, Denmark and Greece.
