Imagine if you’re not allowed on social media by law, what would you do?
Well, Australia’s government says it will introduce “world-leading” legislation to ban children under 16 from social media. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the proposed laws, to be tabled in parliament next week, were aimed at addressing the “harm” social media has on Australian children.
He later on said “This one is for the mums and dads… They, like me, are worried sick about the safety of our kids online. I want Australian families to know that the government has your back,” this just shows the Prime Ministers concern for Australian Children just like many parents do for their own kids.
While many of the details are yet to be debated, the government said the ban would apply to young people already on social media.
