""Social media was a big social experiment,""
""In some ways, this is an antidote social experiment.""
""reasonable steps""
Australia will prohibit anyone under 16 from creating or holding accounts on major social platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram beginning December 10. The Online Safety Amendment imposes heavy fines on social-media companies that fail to comply. The law requires platforms to take "reasonable steps" to prevent account creation by under-16s. Julie Inman Grant, the eSafety commissioner, is responsible for enforcement and challenges industry claims that age verification is impossible. The policy drew inspiration from research linking smartphone diffusion to rising teen mental-health problems and from advocacy by Annabel West and South Australian leadership.
