Starting December 10, Australia will ban children under 16 from using social media, with Meta already deleting underage accounts and age verification being introduced on app stores. The measure aims to protect children from cyberbullying, predators, harmful content, and addictive algorithms, with violations carrying fines of up to AUD 50 million. Parents largely welcome the move, and other countries, including Malaysia and several EU nations, are considering similar rules.
