Proposed Social Media Ban for Minors in Australia
Australia’s parliament is moving towards enacting a law that would restrict access to social media platforms for children under 16. The bill has received significant support, passing the House of Representatives with 102 votes in favor. Major social media companies, including Meta and TikTok, have voiced serious concerns about the law's implications and the potential requirement for identity verification from users. Critics, including the Australian Human Rights Commission, argue that less restrictive measures could better protect minors without infringing on their rights.
