Australia plans to ban social media access for children under 16 to protect young users.

Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced plans to introduce legislation banning social media access for children under 16. The law aims to protect young users from potential harm and will require platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to enforce the age limit, facing increased penalties for non-compliance. The bill, which has bipartisan support, will be presented in late November and take effect a year after passing.
