Australia moves to ban children under 16 from social media
Australia's prime minister vows to ban children under 16 from social media, saying the pervasive influence of platforms like Facebook and TikTok was "doing real harm to our kids".
The new laws are expected to be introduced to parliament in late November.
Platforms such as Facebook, TikTok and Instagram would be held responsible for enforcing the age ban and face potentially hefty fines for failing to do so.
"Social media is doing real harm to kids and I'm calling time on it," Albanese says.
