Australian PM says under-16 social media ban will reduce 'harm'

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says a landmark law that bans under-16s from social media will result in "less harm" for children.

The crackdown on sites like Facebook, Instagram and X, which was approved by parliament late Thursday, will lead to "better outcomes and less harm for young Australians", he tells reporters.
