‘Social media is doing harm to our kids, and I’m calling time on it’: Albanese announces ban for under 16s
Anthony Albanese has announced “world leading” new laws to ban Australians under 16 from signing up to or using social media platforms.
The proposed law will be presented to a virtual sitting of the national cabinet on Friday morning, and will come into effect in a year’s time. Underage users who already have accounts will also be locked out in a year’s time.
“Social media is doing harm to our kids, and I’m calling time on it,” Albanese said.
Don’t worry social media, kids learned how to game our age gates as well.
It will all be good!
So, the ministry of truth is being built. Digital ID will be rolled out. You will like what we say and be happy.

Whatever happened to watching the Wiggles or Thomas the Tank Engine! That insert photo says it all.. don’t start giving phones to kids just to keep them quiet….
