Musk criticizes Australia’s social media crackdown

Elon Musk’s X accused Australia of trying to give its internet regulator unfair information-gathering powers and undermining US law with plans for tougher enforcement of a teen social media ban. Australia’s world-first law barring accounts for under-16s took effect last December, drawing criticism from social media companies, mostly based in the US.The billionaire Musk himself called the Australian social media ban a “backdoor way to control access to the internet by all Australians” in an earlier post on X. Data published by eSafety and studies since the ban have shown most Australian teenagers under 16 still have social media accounts. eSafety has said it is preparing a potential enforcement lawsuit against five platforms but is slowed by its limited powers.Do you support Eon Musk’s comments ?
