Australia to ban social media: Individuals younger than 16 will be prohibited from using social media in Australia. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on Thursday that children under 16 would be banned from social media to safeguard their mental health. Social media companies will need to enforce new regulations, and those not complying will face consequences. A bill addressing this issue will be presented in the Australian Parliament this year.
The PM promised to introduce the law in Parliament later this month
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that social media platforms must demonstrate they are taking significant measures to restrict access, placing the responsibility not on parents or young people. PM Albanese mentioned that social media is detrimental to our children. He has vowed to propose a law in Parliament later this month to emphasize the negative effects of social media on children under 15 years old. This has been substantiated by numerous studies.
No action provision for users
Prime Minister Albanese stated that social media platforms will be accountable for demonstrating that they are taking suitable measures to prevent this access. The responsibility will not fall on the youth or parents. There will be no provisions for user actions.
