HolyAx 302 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) should be anyone under 18, but 16 is better than nothing https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/sep/10/australia-children-social-media-ban-age-limit-under-16-details The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has said the government will impose an as-yet-undefined ban on younger teenagers and children from accessing social media before the next election. On Tuesday, Albanese announced the plan to introduce legislation into parliament by the end of 2024 to block children from social media and other digital platforms unless they are over a certain age – likely to be between 14 and 16. It will come after the $6.5m trial of age verification or assurance technology funded in May’s budget. It followed South Australia’s plan, announced Monday, to restrict access to people aged 14 and over, and the Coalition announcing earlier this year it would ban children under 16 from social media within 100 days if it won the next election. Questions remain about what methods may be used, and whether a ban will be enforceable, or effective. Edited September 13 by HolyAx Link to post Share on other sites
