Australia’s Big Decision: No Social Media for Under-16s
Australia has just passed a new law that stops kids under 16 from using social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. 😲
What’s Going On?
After a lot of discussion, the Australian government decided it’s best for kids under 16 to stay off social media. They want to keep young people safe online.
How Will This Work?
Starting in a year, social media companies have to make sure kids under 16 can’t log in to their apps. If they don’t follow the rules, they could be fined up to 49.5 million Australian dollars (that’s about 32 million US dollars)! 💰
Before the law fully kicks in, there will be a trial starting in January to figure out how to make this work smoothly.
What Does This Mean for You?
Even if you’re not in Australia, this is big news! Other countries might decide to make similar laws. It’s a reminder of how important online safety is for everyone.
