Social Media Banned For Under-16s

In a historic move on November 28, the Australian Government passed the world’s strictest law that stops children under the age of 16 in Australia from using social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. The law will take at least 12 months before it comes into effect. The law will fine social media companies a whopping amount of 50 million Australian Dollars if they do not follow the rules. With this Australia became the first country in the world to bring in a social media ban for under-16s. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says it’s needed to protect young people from the “harms” of social media.
