Sydney (TIP) : Australia on November 28 approved a social media ban for children aged under 16 after an emotive debate that gripped the nation, setting a benchmark for jurisdictions around the world with one of the toughest regulations targeting Big Tech.
The law forces tech giants from Instagram and Facebook owner Meta to TikTok to stop minors logging in or face fines of up to A$49.5 million ($32 million). A trial of methods to enforce it will start in January with the ban to take effect in a year.
A number of countries have already vowed to curb social media use by children through legislation, but Australia’s policy is the most stringent.
FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM-OWNER META SPOKESPERSON: “Naturally, we respect the laws decided by the Australian Parliament. However, we are concerned about the process which rushed the legislation through while failing to properly consider the evidence, what industry already does to ensure age-appropriate experiences, and the voices of young people.
“The task now turns to ensuring there is productive consultation on all rules associated with the Bill to ensure a technically feasible outcome that does not place an onerous burden on parents and teens and a commitment that rules will be consistently applied across all social apps used by teens.”
SUNITA BOSE, MANAGING DIRECTOR, AUSTRALIAN DIGITAL INDUSTRY GROUP, DIGI
“It’s cart before horse… We have the bill but we don’t have guidance from the Australian government around what are the right methods that a whole host of services subject to this law will need to employ.”
SARAH HANSON-YOUNG, GREENS PARTY SENATOR: “This is a rubbish Bill, it has no substance and it doesn’t even take place for another 12 months. It’s also obvious that the people who have drafted and fought for the particular elements of this Bill actually have no idea how young people engage with the internet. This is boomers trying to tell young people how the internet should work.”
“Given the potential for these laws to significantly interfere with the rights of children and young people, the Commission has serious reservations about the proposed social media ban.”
“There are arguments for and against the introduction of a social media ban for under-16s. While a ban may help to protect children and young people from online harms, it will also limit important human rights.” (Reuters)

有人吐槽Cryptify Hub“不专业”——废话，民间社群要什么专业？它又不是教育部认证的。它的价值恰恰在于“不专业”带来的低门槛和活跃度。你想找正规课程去Coursera，你想拿学位去大学，但你想找一个能聊天、能找链接、氛围轻松的Web3圈子，那Cryptify Hub这种社群型品牌可能正合适。前提是：别用正规学院的标准要求它。
