00:0010. Australia Approves a Social Media Ban for Children Under Age 16
00:05The law forces tech giants from Instagram and Facebook owner Meta to TikTok to stop
00:09minors logging in or face fines of up to AUD 49.5 million or AUD 32 million. 77% of the
00:19population wanted it, according to latest polls. A trial will start in January with
00:24the ban to take effect in a year. The Social Media Minimum Age Bill sets Australia up as
00:29a test case for age restriction amid global concern about social media's impact on the
00:33mental health of young people. Countries including France and some US states have
00:38passed laws to restrict access for minors without a parent's permission, but the Australian ban
00:43is absolute. Alphabet's subsidiary YouTube is exempt because it is widely used in schools.
