Australian bill aims to ban social media for children

Musk does not own the internet.

🎉

👍✅ ban social media for children 🚫…. Too much pornography and negative issues in media …can lead to crime also…

The tech companies’ paid bootlickers are gonna say the same crap in this comment section that they always do when there’s a law like this.

“Introduced”

You go for bans when you fail to educate.

Every world should do this

"For the children"….except EVERYONE is now MANDATED to register their ID.

Australian is a winner. This needs to happen. Thank you Australian. This needs to happen around the world, as well.

this…. ❤

The number one nanny state in the world.

But in this case, I don’t protest

This should never happen! It’s a parents decision. Taking away rights is never the answer. If you’re ok with this you don’t deserve rights in the 1st place

It's about protecting the kids from schizophrenia and predators . Young people should be at least required to have ID or a driver's license to operate a global internet vehicle .

hey this is cap bruh. I need social me to survive ong. skibidi. 😭😭😭💩💩💩

The United States needs to follow.💯

The government is really trying to make all internet users provide identity information that they will then use to gain even more control over them.

This is fascism. Not Trump.

Good idea, but make it 18.
We're raising generations of phone zombies.
Dont blame providers. Blame parents.

What about kids who want to express themselves creatively on social media?

Make them get a job 😂

Great decision by Australia 👏👏All other countries should do the same.

There is more productive things to be doing than social media, like Praying, Reading The Bible, learning Gardening, Fishing, Cooking, Sowing, Knitting, Playing Musical Instruments, Milking Cattle and Goats, Sheering Sheep, social media has been idols for not just under 16s but all ages, they phub, spend more time on it than with God, Reading, Studying and Meditating on The Bible, Hanging Around and talking to People in Person

From Australia here. If Australia already wasn't bad enough already, I will now be teaching my kid how to access VPN, and how to not trust government.

Let Parents handle it!

Theyre doing this to get a digital ID off all Australians. Everyone will now require a drivers license, credit card, or passport to prove theyre of age. The government wants to know what all Australians are doing as a footprint.

are we in china ??? build a great firewall ??

Smoke screen… slowly censoring the population. Start with the kids .. we need less government not more

Anyone that argues against this is arguing that we should allow harm to come to our children. And that is totally insane!

Vielen Dank Australien thanksdoc❤‍🩹❤ Die Herzen sollen für die Heilung unserer Gesellschaft stehen, die Kindern freien Zugang zu allen Medien erlaubt. Ihr seid die Einzigen, die den Mut haben, aber auch ihre Verantwortung für UNSER ALLER Kinder übernehmen. Das Werkzeug INTERNET und Social Media, gehören nicht in Kinderhände ! Das weiß die ganze Welt, doch Australien muss der Welt erst zeigen, was für UNSERE Kinder nicht gut ist. Also nochmal großen Dank an euch, für das was wir alle nicht geschafft haben ÖFFENTLICH zu sagen !!! Ganz ganz liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ❤

Finally, someone is thinking. Here in NZ education is moving in the opposite direction of house prices. No one can afford a house neither do maths. A new level of incompetence.

Thank god

I told you we would need gluon guistics; they are going to have to get back to defining everything properly and building proper tools for families. social media should mean tools we can use to communicate and directed conversations will now be a thing of our divine dominion.

we need to do the same here it ruining our kids

Tis would be HUGE! Social media during the developmental years is detrimental to mental health. Hands down. Trust between parents and kids is key though. That guy said his daughter will find a way around it, as if he had no say in the matter.

Good move, as adults are faced with children who only have life in front of a screen !
Also, been drawn into scrupulous criminals and illegal activity ….

Yep if parents can't monitor their children, this is a great policy. They might have to use an internet access card for adults to log on. However it will stifle the next young genius entrepreneurs in Australia.

hey this is soooo funny, imagine China would try to ratify this to law, we would face the biggest shitstorm the world has seen. But if the Aussies do it, it s like…"wow thats cool!"
🤣🤣🤣

Ban McDonald ads KFC ads all Junk Food ads Ban Alcohol ads Gambling ads ban them all if not than Australia is full of Crap

and now I won’t be able to get into contact with my younger family members on face time

I agree with the premise; protect our kids from social media can only be a good thing. But unfortunately i agree with Elon musk i don’t trust our corrupt government and i think this is a round about way of government control. This is just the first step, it worries me what verification methods and information that we will have to provide. If we wanted to protect our kids on the internet and the government was so concerned wheres the conversation about access to pornography and pushing those sites for age verfication?

Just ban it for the bullies. the kids are smart:/
