Australia has approved the world’s strictest social media laws, banning children under 16 from using these platforms following the passage of this groundbreaking legislation in the Australian Parliament.
This law, which has been finalized and is the first of its kind globally, has received widespread public support despite opposition from some politicians and activists
According to a YouGov poll, approximately seventy-seven percent of Australians support this ban on social media access for minors.
With the implementation of this law, children and teenagers under sixteen years old will no longer have access to social media platforms in Australia
The Australian government’s decision comes amid serious concerns about the negative effects of social media on children’s mental health.
Technology giants are currently monitoring the consequences of implementing this new law. According to published information, this legislation will be fully implemented starting in 2025
