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.

    This is a false dichotomy.

    You can regulate social media platforms and have great infrastructure.

    Your own childhood sounds tough, but advocating for social media as a way to mitigate shitty communities is a weird take.

      This is false false dichotomy.

      Privacy protection laws do regulate social media.

        I’m not sure you understand what dichotomy means, maybe look it up.

        I didn’t say privacy laws don’t regulate social media.
