Australia to impose age restrictions on social media use by end of year
Australian authorities plan to set an age limit for social media users by the end of the year. Prime Minister Albanese said that thresholds of 14 or 16 years are being discussed.
The Australian government is preparing to introduce age restrictions for social media use. According to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, no age limit has been decided yet, but options are being discussed to restrict access for children aged 14 or 16.
According to Albanese, such measures are necessary to protect children and their mental health. He stressed the importance of ensuring that children have the opportunity to have a full childhood without excessive exposure to social media.
The changes are expected to come into force before the end of the year, and authorities are considering additional steps to monitor compliance with the restrictions.
