Australia's Parliament is set to introduce landmark legislation aimed at banning children under the age of 16 from using social media platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has expressed concern about the negative effects social media is having on the mental and emotional well-being of young people. This bold initiative seeks to mitigate risks like online bullying, exposure to inappropriate content, and the impact of social media addiction on minors.
