Back to EpisodesAustralia Cracks Down on Big Tech for Kids' Social Media Access
Description
Australias government is cracking down on big tech giants for not enforcing the new social media ban on kids under sixteen. Despite the law since last December, a third of kids still have accounts, down from nearly half. Investigations into Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube are ongoing for possible violations. Parents report that seven out of ten kids who had these platforms before the ban still do. The government is pushing for stricter verification rules and fines up to forty-nine million Australian dollars per breach.
