Australia has become the first country to ban social media for children under 16,
00:05
a move that may trigger a broader wave of regulation around the world.
00:09
From midnight, 10 major platforms including TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook
00:15
must block access for anyone under the age limit or risk fines of almost AU$50 million.
00:22
Tech companies and free speech groups say the ban goes too far and will be tough to enforce.
00:31
Parents and child safety advocates say it is long overdue.
00:34
The government argues it had to act because the tech industry has been too slow to tackle online harms.
00:40
This reform will change lives for Australian kids and allowing them to just have their childhood.
00:49
For Australian parents, enabling them to have greater peace of mind.
00:56
But also for the global community who are looking at Australia and saying,
01:02
well if Australia can do it, why can't we?
01:05
Governments from Denmark to Malaysia and several states in the US,
01:09
where some trust and safety features are being scaled back, say they are preparing similar measures.
01:15
Though the ban applies to 10 platforms for now,
01:19
the Australian government says the list will shift as new apps emerge
01:22
and young users move to different spaces.
