Social media ban on children mulled

The Australian government will legislate for a ban on social media for children under 16, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Thursday, in what it calls a "world-leading" package of measures that could become law late next year. "Social media is doing harm to our kids and I'm calling time on it," Albanese told a news conference. Several countries have already vowed to curb social media use by children through legislation, though Australia's policy is one of the most stringent.
