YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Australia passed a law to ban social media for children aged under 16 after days of heated debate, setting a standard for other countries to follow in a global push to curb the power of Big Tech.

The law forces tech giants from Instagram and Facebook owner Meta to TikTok to stop minors logging in or face fines of up to $32 million. A trial of methods to enforce it will start in January with the ban to take effect in a year.
