Australia to strengthen enforcement of under-16 social media ban

Australia is stepping up its enforcement of a law banning kids under 16 from using social media, indicating that big tech companies haven't been fully compliant. The government is now imposing stricter penalties and maximum fines for non-compliance, aiming to protect younger users from the potential harms of social media. This move underscores a growing global concern over the impact of social media on children's mental health and safety, highlighting the importance of regulatory measures to safeguard vulnerable users.
