New Zealand’s Select Committee urges stronger youth online safety laws, including an independent regulator and bans on harmful apps.
New Zealand’s Select Committee has released a final report urging stronger online safety measures for youth, recommending an independent regulator, platform accountability for harmful design features like algorithms, and bans on apps that generate non-consensual deepfakes.
The report calls for a "fast-follower" approach, adopting proven models from the UK, EU, and Australia, while emphasizing transparency, digital literacy, and protection of human rights.
Critics warn the proposals, including mandatory age verification and potential VPN restrictions, may erode privacy and free expression without clear evidence of improving child safety.
The government will now review the findings as it considers next steps.
