Australia has approved legislation to ban social media use for children under 16, a move supported by both the government and the main opposition party. The law, set to take effect in November 2025, requires social media platforms to implement age verification measures to prevent minors from accessing their services. Failure to comply could result in fines of up to $32 million. The legislation also includes a provision that prohibits platforms from demanding sensitive personal data for age verification.
