Anthony Albanese, the Australian Prime Minister has announced a plan to ban children from using social media to address the mental health issues and social harm associated with young people using social media.
The proposed legislation aims to set a minimum trial age likely between 14 and 16 years using verification technology before implementing the ban....
This is good.
ReplyDeleteMake the trial from age 17...14 years - 16 years is way too young for social media....How effective will the verification be with bots and hackers abound....This is a good one and I hope there wont be unnecessary backlash....
DeleteThis is a great initiative if it passes parliament. But there are lots of concerns being raised about possible privacy infringements as one of the strategies to curb underage involvement is by ensuring that only people with valid IDs are approved to have a profile. The problem with this is that many of the bad guys will potentially have a minefield for obtaining people's information through hacking. This is already being trialled in South Australia, so it will be very interesting to see if it succeeds there before being adapted by other states and territories.
DeleteGood idea,it does more harm than good to kids when there is no restriction.
