According to Albanese, creating this law is necessary to reduce the use of social media by underage children in Australia.
Now, Australia has officially banned social media.The following are the rules enforced by Australia in new restrictions on the use of social media:
Delete underage accounts
Some of the world’s largest social media platforms are required to remove all users under the age of 16, starting December 10.
According to The Straits Times website, social media such as Instagram reports around 350,000 Australian users aged 13 to 15 years, so this has an impact on hundreds of thousands of teenagers.
Age verification
Social media platforms will be responsible for deleting underage accounts, as Meta, Facebook’s parent company is now starting to deactivate accounts according to the age the product was created.
According to Meta, account holders can verify their age using a “selfie video” or providing government-issued identification.
Not all teenagers prove their age
Not all Australians have to prove their age, only those suspected of breaking the ban on underage use of social media.
Young users can also still use some social media without having to log in or they can use it without having to register with their own account.
Platforms that include restrictions
Although there is still debate about which platforms are included in the ban, there are several banned platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, as well as streaming platforms including Kick and Twitch.
YouTube is also one of the prohibited platforms, but the Government still provides exceptions so that children can watch online lessons.
A warning to rebellious teenagers
The guidelines warn that rebellious teens may try to enter fake IDs or use AI to create older photos.
Social media platforms are expected to devise their own ways to stop this from happening.
Severe punishment
Social media platforms will face fines of US$32 million (around Rp.) if they fail to take “reasonable steps” to comply.
“Reasonable measures mean platforms must act to enforce restrictions in a fair and appropriate manner in a given situation,” the guidance says.
