How Australia’s Proposed Under-16 Social Media Ban Could Change the Landscape
Australia is moving closer to implementing a ban on social media for children under 16.
The proposal, which aims to protect young users from harm, was introduced in Parliament by the government.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasized that social media is detrimental to children’s well-being, with the legislation targeting platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
The bill has gained broad support, though it has sparked debate on enforcement and the role of tech companies in ensuring age restrictions.
