Australia Set to Implement World's First Under-16 Social Media Ban | Spotlight | N18G

Australia is set to implement the world's first social media ban for children under the age of 16. The ban will go into effect tomorrow (December 10). The new law requires major platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X, to block Australian users under 16 or face hefty fines of up to $33 million. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese addressed teenagers, asserting that the laws were in place for their protection from the pressures of "endless feeds," and encouraged them to use their upcoming school holidays away from screens. While parents and child advocates have praised the move, it faces criticism from tech companies and free speech advocates, including Elon Musk, who called it a "backdoor way" to control internet access. Content creators and queer youth have also expressed concern over losing their livelihoods and community platforms.
