World’s First Social Media Ban for Kids Rolled Out in Australia
Australia has become the first country to ban social media access for children under 16, targeting platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. The legislation, citing risks to minors' mental and physical health, requires tech giants to block underage users or face fines of up to $32 million. A trial enforcement begins in January, with full implementation expected within a year. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasised the government's responsibility to act, referencing tragic cases of young lives lost due to social media's negative impact. While some residents support the move as a protective measure, others criticize it as undemocratic. TikTok has expressed disappointment, and experts argue the ban may be more symbolic than practical.
