Peter Kyle emphasized that a social media ban for those under 16 is not preferred, addressing concerns over potential harms while regulating online safety for young people.

Kyle noted that while everything is open for discussion regarding regulation, he reiterated that there’s no active program aiming to ban smartphones for children.
With the Australian government implementing stringent measures against social media access for minors, it raises questions about similar actions in other countries, particularly in the US.
