Australia’s Senate is debating a bill that could see children under the age of 16 banned from accessing social media. It comes just days after the lower house of parliament overwhelmingly approved the measure.
If passed by the Senate, the government says social media companies will have one year to implement the changes or face massive fines. Critics say the plan has privacy risks and may isolate young people. But supporters of the bill argue the age restrictions will help protect children
