Australia will move to pass new laws banning children under 16 from social media, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Thursday, vowing to crack down on tech companies failing to protect young users.
“This one is for the mums and dads. Social media is doing real harm to kids and I’m calling time on it,” he told reporters.
Albanese first mooted a social media age limit earlier this year, but it is the first time he has put a firm number on it.
