Australia passed legislation banning social media platforms for children under the age of 16, in a move aimed at reducing mental health risks.
That is, children below this age will not be able to use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and Snapchat.
This includes addiction, cyberbullying, and harmful content.
