Australia is the first nation to ban social media for under-16s
globalvoices.org
On Wednesday, the lower house of the Australian parliament voted to pass legislation to ban social media for children under 16 years, and the Senate passed the bill on Friday.

Landmark legislation sees the Australian government committed to the novel step of child protection by banning social media for under sixteens.

    With great sadness I have to agree with you.

    It’s just one shit show after another. Voice to parliament, live export ban, and now this. Meanwhile Australians are being ground into the dust by price gouging corporations and interest rate hikes.

    That said I am in support of this legislation, but it’s just not enough.
