Macy Newland is a 15-year-old Australian teenager who is challenging a government law that bans individuals under 16 from social media platforms. Alongside her peer Noah Jones, Macy argues that rather than imposing a blanket ban, the focus should be on improving online safety measures and education about the risks of social media. She believes that the law undermines young people's ability to engage in democracy and access valuable information, highlighting the need for a more balanced approach to online regulation.
