Australia to Ban Social Media for Kids Under 16 in 2025 Amid Mental Health Concerns
Dec 7, 2024, 12:39 AM
Australia has passed a landmark law that will ban children under the age of 16 from accessing social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, starting in 2025. This legislation, supported by both the Labor and Coalition parties, aims to protect the mental health of young individuals. Companies failing to comply with this new regulation will face substantial fines. The ban has sparked a debate on digital rights and the feasibility of enforcement, with some critics arguing that it might infringe on the rights of teenagers and questioning the effectiveness of such measures in safeguarding youth mental health. The move is seen as a potential precedent for similar legislation globally, with policymakers taking note of Australia's approach to regulating social media access for minors.
