Prime Minister Albanese stated, 'This one is for the mums and dads... They, like me, are worried sick about the safety of our kids online... the government has your back.'
The proposed laws aim to mitigate social media's 'harm' to Australian children, with a ban specifically targeting those under 16 aimed at enhancing online safety.
Critics argue that banning social media for younger users is ineffective, suggesting these measures delay exposure instead of teaching them to navigate online safely.
The law will require social media platforms to demonstrate reasonable efforts to restrict access, placing the responsibility on them, rather than penalizing young users.
