Australia to ban social media for children under 16; ‘This one is for the mums and dads’ says PM Anthony Albanese

Australia is planning to ban social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok for children below 16 years of age. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australia will move to pass new laws banning children under 16 from social media. Stating that the tech giants have failed to protect vulnerable users, Albanese said that platforms such as Facebook, TikTok and Instagram would be held responsible for enforcing the age ban.
