Australia Passes World's First Law Banning Social Media for Under-16s
Nov 28, 2024, 01:32 PM
Australia has passed a landmark law banning children under the age of 16 from using social media platforms, marking one of the world's strictest measures on social media regulation. The legislation was approved by the Australian Senate on Thursday and will soon become a world-first law. Under the new law, social media companies will be liable for systemic failures to prevent children younger than 16 from holding accounts. The move aims to protect minors from potential harms associated with social media use. The law has received mixed reactions from senators.
