Australia’s plan to ban teenagers from social media has been called “world‑leading”.
The law, which comes into effect December 10, threatens platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook with fines of up to $50 million if they let under-16s open or keep accounts.
But as implementation draws closer, questions remain about how the ban will be enforced, what it means for online privacy, and whether it will reshape the way everyone uses the internet.
Today, digital‑rights advocate Samantha Floreani on the risks of the ban amid a global regulatory arms race.
