No More Insta, Facebook, TikTok For Kids? Australia To Ban Social Media For Children Under 16

Australia is taking an unprecedented step to protect young people by implementing a sweeping social media ban for children under 16. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the move, citing serious concerns over the physical and mental health risks associated with excessive social media use, particularly around issues like body image and harmful content. This bold legislation, which could take effect by late 2025, will prohibit children from using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, setting the highest minimum age for social media access worldwide. The law mandates strict age verification measures, leaving no room for parental consent or pre-existing accounts. #AustraliaSocialMediaBan #NoSocialMediaUnder16 #ProtectOurKids #AustraliaLeads #DigitalSafety #SocialMediaBan #SafeOnline #HealthyKids #BanForTeens #AlbaneseSocialMediaBan #NoFacebookForKids #NoInstaForKids #ProtectYoungMinds #MentalHealthMatters #OnlineSafetyRevolution ~PR.152~GR.336~GR.122~HT.336~
