Australia has passed a social media ban for children under 16. It attempts to address the impact of social media use on children's health, and applies to X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and Reddit, but not YouTube.
"The platforms, which bear sole responsibility for enforcement, have one year to figure out how to implement the age limit, which is the highest set by any country. If there are systemic failures to keep children from having accounts, the platforms are liable for fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million)," nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqa3kdh5kykk4jcwt50z0n4tgwe8r2qgnhfjlugludh4xrlu4vgh3q448c5m reports.
