Australia Cracks Down on Big Tech for Underage Social Media Use

Published 1 week ago
Description

Australia cracks down on big tech for failing to protect children under 16 on social media platforms. Five major platforms are under investigation for breaching new laws, with fines up to nearly fifty million dollars for big breaches. The online safety watchdog found that children could easily create new accounts or pass age checks. A draft Childrens Online Privacy Code is set to be implemented by 2027, with penalties for violating kids best interests and data privacy. Other nations are also taking action, marking a significant shift to protect young users as technology evolves.
