This seems a bit extreme, frankly.
It’s unfortunate parents have had their authority over their children transferred to the state.
Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Thursday the government would legislate for a ban on social media for children under 16, a policy the government says is world-leading.
“Social media is doing harm to our kids and I’m calling time on it,” Albanese told a news conference.
Legislation will be introduced into parliament this year, with the laws coming into effect 12 months after it is ratified by lawmakers, he added.
There will be no exemptions for users who have parental consent.
“The onus will be on social media platforms to demonstrate they are taking reasonable steps to prevent access,” Albanese said. “The onus won’t be on parents or young people.”
Social media is definitely not good for people.
But social media is… media that represents the society.
You’d need to do a lot more than simply ban teenagers from the internet to fix these problems.
