Australia's House of Representatives passed a bill that would ban social media use for children under 16, imposing liability on platforms for account verification.
Opposition lawmaker Dan Tehan highlighted that although the law may not be perfect, its potential impact on improving the lives of people, particularly children, is significant.
Critics argued that the legislation was rushed through Parliament without adequate scrutiny, suggesting it may not effectively protect children and could introduce privacy risks.
The bill mandates that social media platforms won't be able to require users to provide government-issued ID, addressing concerns over privacy and data security.
