Australia plans to implement age limit to ban children from social media

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced plans to introduce a minimum age limit for children to use social media, citing concerns about mental and physical health. The proposed age limit is expected to be between 14 and 16 years old, with an age verification trial to be conducted before introducing the law. This measure aims to reduce the negative impact of social media on young people, but digital rights advocates warn that it could drive online activity underground.
