The Australian government aims to enforce a minimum age for social media use, holding platforms responsible for detecting and blocking underage users, despite their current inefficiencies.
While the Bill seeks to provide parents with a way to prevent underage access to social apps, the lack of a standardized enforcement framework may lead to inconsistent applications.
Current detection systems implemented by social media platforms are acknowledged as ineffectual, meaning that despite new laws, younger users may still circumvent these age restrictions.
The government’s discussions around creating an industry-standard age detection process remain vague, raising concerns about its potential effectiveness in enforcing the new regulations.
