Victoria’s bold new laws aim to shield kids online by empowering Vcat to force social media and AI firms to reveal anonymous users’ identities—crucial for tackling online vilification. Parents can now sue for negligence without proving 10% permanent impairment, slashing the legal hurdle for mental health harm claims.

As global lawsuits pile up, Victoria’s move signals a growing global reckoning: tech giants must answer for the harm their addictive platforms inflict on children.
