Children under the age of 16 in Australia will be banned from using social media. The law, which will take at least 12 months before it comes into effect, will see social media companies fined £25.7m ($50m Australian dollars) if they don’t follow the rules. It makes Australia the first country in the world to bring in a social media ban for under-16s. The government haven’t said which platforms will be banned for under-16s yet. This will be decided later by Australia’s communications minister, alongside an internet regulator who will enforce the rules.The bill still needs to go to the House of Representatives to approve any changes before it becomes law. Do you think that Social Media platforms are like drugs being fed on humans and should try avoid them ?
