One month out from youth social media ban, PM still vague on details
Anthony Albanese
With just one month to go until Australia’s social media ban for under 16s comes into play, the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has done a series of media interviews to spruik the initiative. While Albanese has been upbeat about the benefits and opportunities the new rules will have, he has remained light on details about what will actually happen, and how, come 10 December.
Albanese appeared on Sydney’s top-rating FM breakfast show The Kyle and Jackie O Show on ARN’s Kiis FM this week, and said the system will be comprehensive and won’t simply rely on parents enforcing the ban.
“There’ll be a bit more than that because the social media companies, of course, know so much about us. That’s the truth. That’s the way the algorithms work. If you’re a cricket follower, then you get cricket things pop up on your feed. That’s the reality. And we know that that’s the case,” he said.
