Summary
Australia’s government plans to introduce legislation banning social media for under-16s. The proposed laws aim to mitigate the harm social media inflicts on Australian children.
The government will consult with parents, social media platforms, and experts about the age limit.
The legislation will not apply to young people already on social media, and there will be no penalties for users.
