Australia officially implemented a social media ban for minors on the 10th. Minors under 16 will be banned from using 10 social media platforms, including Facebook, Photo Wall, and X. The Australian e-Safety Commissioner's Office said the restrictions are aimed at protecting Australian minors from psychological stress and potential risks in using social media. Australian Prime Minister Albanis said in a video for minors that they know better than anyone how it feels to grow up with algorithms, endless streams of information, and the pressure that comes with it. He emphasized, “Make good use of the upcoming school holidays instead of constantly swiping your phone. Learn a new sport, a new instrument, or read that book that's been on your shelf for a long time. The important thing is to spend quality time face-to-face with your friends and family.”
