Australia PM says Musk pushing agenda after social media ban DW 12/01/2024
Briefly

Elon Musk criticized Australia's social media ban for under-16s, suggesting it serves as a 'backdoor way' to control internet access, reflecting on broader implications for user freedoms.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responded to Musk’s comments, asserting that the proposed law is essential for protecting children, and acknowledging Musk's desire to push his agenda as the owner of X.
Australia's upcoming ban prohibits under-16s from using social media without exemptions, marking one of the strictest measures globally, with significant implications for platforms like X, Facebook, and TikTok.
Albanese stressed the government's willingness to engage in dialogue with Musk, affirming that all perspectives would be heard as the new law approaches its enforcement date.
