Australia is preparing to ban social media for children under 16. This is reported by AP, according to UNN.

Details

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that the move would be part of new legislation designed to limit young people's access to online platforms and ensure their safety online. According to the plan, an age verification system is already being tested, and the ban could come into effect as early as the end of 2025.

Albanese emphasized that social media is causing significant harm to children and called for immediate action to protect young people from the negative effects of the digital environment. Australia was one of the first countries to propose such a policy, which could become a model for other countries around the world.

The law, according to government officials, will also help to better control the content available to young people, in particular, to protect them from cyberbullying, harmful influences, and unverified information sources.
