Australia's House of Representatives Passes Bill Banning Children Under 16 from Social Media, Vote 102-13, $33M Fines for Non-compliance
Nov 26, 2024, 11:56 PM
Australia's House of Representatives has passed a landmark bill that bans children younger than 16 from creating accounts on major social media platforms. The legislation, which received a significant majority with a vote of 102 to 13, is expected to be finalized by the Senate shortly. This move is part of a broader initiative to regulate social media usage among minors, following a Senate committee's approval of the bill. Companies that fail to comply with the new regulations could face substantial fines, estimated at $33 million. The bill represents a significant step in the ongoing debate about children's safety online and sets a precedent for potential similar actions in other countries.
