Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that no generation has faced the challenge of navigating mental health issues related to social media, indicating urgent need for action.
Albanese highlighted that many parents feel lost when addressing the mental health consequences of social media, as their children often face online harms difficult to mitigate.
With 68% of Australians in favor of an age limit for social media, the government explores solutions that could protect children while acknowledging a global context.
The Australian government is currently trialing age assurance technology to restrict children's access to inappropriate online content, indicating proactive measures being implemented.
