Australia passes social media ban for under 16s

"Sounds like you want governments to shrug their shoulders and not do anything, shameful"

Always the government's fault , what happened to people taking care of things themselves in this case the Parents.

When I was a kid in the 70s the thing all kids wanted was a portable tv in the bedroom to watch tv at night, my parents refused, said too much TV was no good for me, I was pissed at the time but my word looking back I thank them so much for doing so.

Parents should be role models, sadly a lot of parents don't care and don't know what their kids are up to.
I give you the analogy; if you go to a cinema it is the cinemas responsibility to ensure you are over the certification age, same for a pub. It should be the sites job to ensure that the person viewing is the correct age. Not sure how they will do it but with AI I am sure they will come up with something.
 
How many 12 year olds are trying to promote their business?

This is the start of trying to eliminate or at least limit the social media use in children- many of whom commit suicide for the stuff they see and get fed from these platforms , anorexia , bullying, mental health all is happening to under 16’s because of social media platforms - Australia should be applauded for taking this giant first step.

Sounds like you want governments to shrug their shoulders and not do anything, shameful.
Lol, you always give dramatic replies to get as far opposite to what i post as you can

They could come up with something…….
If they wanted to.

Because its not the child's fault if they have shit parents.
If the Government can clap down on limiting social media what's the harm ? doesn't have to be one or the other.
 
Kids will have found a way around this before the ink is even dry . Every older generations try and put limits on the younger ones, we must accept that social media is how people keep in touch and talk to people all over the globe, promote their businesses and be and make a fortune out of being an influencer or whatever they are called

However if you can get every parent to sign up.. just takes one of them not to sign up and the kids will get in via their kids

They will build a verification process into their software most likely and if you don't pass that you don't get access. You probably have no idea the damage tik tok does to children, already had several letters and meetings for my son in primary school about kids in his class on tik tok either bullying others via a trend or being inappropriate.

This is a step in the right direction and I hope we do the same.

Fair enough

Some mobiles phones now you can put a password protected on any app so in reality a parent could just have apps that they want on that phone!

Verification wise they could use face recognition for all social media access!
