Children under 16 will be banned from using social media, Australia has said.
The country’s government said the new legislation was a world-leading attempt to deal with the dangers posed to young people by social networks.
Young people will be banned from using social networks. The companies themselves will be punished if they fail to ensure compliance, the government said.
“Social media is doing harm to our kids and I’m calling time on it,” Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese said.
