Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced that his country is considering banning children from using social media and other relevant digital platforms, citing concerns about mental and physical health.
The legislation, to be introduced by the end of the year is being touted as a means of protecting Australian children from online harm, as well as providing support to parents and carers.
The safety and mental and physical health of our young people is paramount, the Australian PM said, adding that the minimum age for accessing the online platforms would likely be between 14 and 16.
I want to see kids off their devices and onto the footy fields and the swimming pools and the tennis courts. We want them to have real experiences with real people because we know that social media is causing social harm.
According to the prime minister, the legislation will be developed in cooperation with states and territories and will be informed by a review undertaken by the South Australian government as part of its draft laws.
Last week, the government of the South Australia region announced plans to ban children under the age of 14 from social media. The framework is also expected to see children aged 14 and 15 need parental consent before signing up for the platforms.
Australia, which is ranked among the world’s top ten nations in terms of internet adoption rates, could become one of the first countries to impose an age restriction on social media.
Previous attempts, including by the EU, have failed following complaints about reducing the online rights of minors.
In June, Australia’s online safety regulator, the eSafety Commission, warned that restriction-based approaches may limit young people’s access to critical support and push them to look for less regulated non-mainstream services.

Ban the alphabet platforms, the only reason that the ghouls want to ban social media is the truth spreads like wild fire and the parents can also see the DEI polices that is being rammed down the throats of the minors and also exposing the predators, groomers and indoctrinators!
Smoking ban has worked & this idea could indeed save children’s critical thinking skills. Because the objective of these organizations backed by the americunts. Is reduce adults short-term memory & make them dopamine seeking feeble minded lunatics. Much like the insider trading done by the USA-Naziland leadership craving for ever more monies. Whilst in actual fact destroying USA by incurring massive national debts helping the Zion-Nazism filth agenda.
All the more reason to Eliminate all Political Oppression…Governments are NOT Carers, they are Control Freaks working for the Elites who wish to invoke Orwellian Principles on the Masses. Australians have NO defense within the Constitution, there is NO “Bill of Rights” to protect them, in fact there is little written protection for Australians within the Laws of Australian Politics and Citizen-ship, We’re not even allowed Toy guns let alone Real ones. Oz is just another Politically Oppressed Nation that believes it’s FREE….
The Australian Law copies the UK in that the UK also has no Bill of Rights something I complain about constantly , saying anything that isn’t Woke can get you jailed/arrested –the “Mother of Parliaments ” is now the Mother of Repression- spied upon-communications intercepted – criticism of the government gets you tagged as “disloyal ” . The BBC has been heavily criticised for its pro- Netanyahu stance – genocide ???- what genocide ? not surprising as media owners print the same and the Media is owned by the same owners of the US media . Most big businesses are… Read more »

Isn’t BK (together with Taco Bell and Pepsi) owned by a holding company that was bought by the Chinese?
The companies you mention all helped /contributed and supported Israel by buying their products or helping to finance their regime.
Pepsi shareholders include ( as of January 2024 ) Vanguard Group = 9.35 % BlackRock =7.96 % and lesser percentages including Morgan Stanley -BoA -JPMorgan Chase etc American financial companies – cant find a Chinese holding company-so far maybe you are confusing Pepsi,s buyout for $700Million + of a Chinese giant company but as of this year no mention of Chinese ownership.
Coca Cola /Pepsi Cola maintain plants in the west bank settlements and donate supplies to the Israeli military.
Soda Stream helps with the displacement of Bedouin/Palestinian citizens and operate discriminatory practices against Palestinian workers .
