Australia Wants Kids "Onto Fields" With Social Media Age Limit, Can Albanese Take On Big Tech? On September 10, Australia announced plans to introduce legislation banning children from social media by late 2024 due to health risks. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasized the need for real-life experiences over social media and outlined a $6.5 million trial for age verification technology. The proposed law, considering a minimum age between 14 and 16, follows similar initiatives by South Australia and the Coalition. Privacy concerns and enforcement challenges are key issues, with potential fines for non-compliance and debates over the effectiveness of age verification methods.
