If you have been wondering about the effectiveness of the social media ban of under 15 year olds, this study got you :)

Spoiler: 92%+ of kids age 14-15 in Australia still use it ๐Ÿฅณ

Meanwhile IMO forced verification of users had a much better success rate ๐Ÿ˜‰

But, but, we banned them! There's no possible way that kids could find their way out of the AOL Kids Zone!
