The government of Australia claims it will enact “world-leading” legislation that would prohibit minors under the age of sixteen from using social media.
According to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the proposed legislation, which is scheduled to be presented to parliament next week, aims to lessen the “harm” that social media is causing to Australian youngsters.
“This one’s for the parents… They share my extreme concern for our children’s online safety. He stated, “I want Australian families to know that the government is on your side.”
The administration stated that the ban would not apply to youth who are already on social media, even if many specifics are still up for negotiation.
Children who have their parents’ permission will not be excluded from the age limit.
