00:00The law in Australia prohibits the use of social media under the age of 15.
00:06Bans were effective in November 2025,
00:09but in January, there are already trials of ways to implement it.
00:14Apart from the Social Media Minimum Age Act, which reduces incidents of cyberbullying,
00:19it is said to greatly affect the mental health of young people.
00:24According to social media apps like TiyaKing,
00:27users under the age of 16 can be charged.
00:31Those who violate the law can be fined up to 49.5 million Australian Dollars
00:36or more than 1.9 billion Pesos.
00:39The group of parents supports the ban,
00:42but some groups of youth, academics, and privacy advocates oppose it.
00:49Is it a favor for some Filipinos to have a law like this?
00:55It's not a favor because there are other social media platforms
00:59where you can see different battles.
01:03It's not a favor for those under the age of 15
01:07that they are no longer allowed to use gadgets
01:11because at that time, young people are already techies.
01:15But now, it's more convenient to use technology.
