Snapchat will be included in Australia’s reforms aimed to restrict social media use among teenagers.

 

 

Concerns arose that Snapchat might exploit a loophole, potentially evading new regulations.

The legislation, set to be unveiled soon, aims to establish a minimum age of 16 for social media access.

Shadow Communications Minister David Coleman emphasized that Snapchat should not be exempt, citing negative impacts on Australian children.

Concerns about online bullying associated with Snapchat were also highlighted by educators.

Communications Minister Michelle Rowland stated the reforms are designed to protect young people and mandate social media platforms to ensure safety measures.

The proposed legislation includes penalties up to $50 million for companies that do not comply, along with privacy regulations.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed the need for responsible action against social media’s potential harm to youth.

He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to collaborating with parents and tech companies to address these challenges effectively.

While the reforms signal progress, there are worries about the enforcement of age restrictions and the possibility of teenagers circumventing the rules.

The Albanese Government aims to safeguard young Australians from the risks associated with social media usage.
