The Australian government is introducing legislation to set a 16-year age limit for social media use, deeming it necessary amid concerns over children’s online safety.
Prime Minister Albanese emphasizes the urgency of the issue, stating, 'Social media is doing harm to our kids and I'm calling time on it,' reflecting a broad parental concern.
Antigone Davis from Meta expressed the need for more substantial conversations on effective protections for youth, cautioning against superficial measures that do not improve safety.
The new law will hold platforms accountable for compliance, requiring them to exclude Australian children under 16, while parents and children will not face penalties.
