00:00Australia recently announced that they are considering implementing a ban on children for social media use.
00:07Is Malaysia considering any similar plan of action? Why haven't we done so?
00:13The issue of the age limit for social media users is something that I have repeatedly raised with the providers of social media platforms.
00:26And every time we have that discussion, their own guidelines do not allow, for example, children under the age of 13 to open an account.
00:39But in reality, children as young as 6-7 years old have an account on various social media platforms, based on my experience in the field.
00:55Therefore, we can see that the platforms have set the age limit, but the implementation of the rules is very weak.
01:08Here, we hope that with the discussion process that we will have, the platforms will be more serious in their efforts to reduce and finally ban children, especially children under the age of 13, from having social media accounts.
01:28So, the issue is not the basis, but the implementation.
01:32At this time, we will also investigate the efforts of other countries, not only in Australia, in solving the problem of what they see is happening in social media, in the context of their respective countries.
