"There has been massive global interest in the new social media legislation
introduced in Australia aimed at protecting children from the dangers of
doom‑scrolling and mental‑health risks potentially posed by these platforms
during their developmental years
The platforms’ methods so far for verifying young people’s ages have shown
mixed effectiveness.
The Australian Christmas period may be interrupted with cries of “I’m so bored
without Insta”, but the Australian government is not done yet. New measures are
scheduled to come into force before the new year, which will include further
restrictions on content deemed age-inappropriate across a range of internet
services."
