00:00The Australian government is set to legislate a ban on social media for children under 16
00:07in what it calls a world-leading package of measures that could become law in 2025.
00:12Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says excessive social media use increases children's risks,
00:17such as harmful body image for girls and misogynist content aimed at boys.
00:21A number of countries have already vowed to curb children's use of social media through
00:25legislation, though Australia's policy is one of the most stringent.
00:29Australia is trialing an age verification system to aid blocking children from accessing
00:33social media platforms, and will use verification methods like biometrics or government identification.
00:40Legislation will be introduced into the Australian Parliament this year, with the laws coming
00:44into effect 12 months after being ratified.
00:47Australia's communications minister says platforms that would likely be impacted would
00:51include Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and YouTube.
