The Australian government has made a strict decision: social media access is now prohibited for those under 16.

What will happen if platforms do not comply with these rules? They could face fines of up to 33 million dollars. A serious amount.

The interesting thing is this: almost all major platforms said "yes, we will comply." But there is one exception – the X platform has not yet joined this list.

The way digital platforms are regulated varies in each country. Some demand strict control, while others advocate for more自由 approaches. Australia seems to be taking its place in the first group.

When facing a fine of 33 million dollars, no one would resist, of course. I think X will eventually join as well.

X is still resisting haha, $33 million can't buy it off --- Banning social media for under 16? Australia is really tough. Other platforms are scared, but X still dares to challenge --- Now all the grandmas worldwide will have to follow Australia's lead and ban kids from endless phone scrolling --- A $33 million fine is just pocket change for Musk. X will definitely stand its ground --- Laughing to death. Besides X, everyone else is obediently bowing their heads. Let's see who ends up with the last penalty notice

What is platform X really trying to resist or waiting for? Australia's move of 33 million dollars is quite harsh. Other platforms are all scared. Banning social media for those under 16? Can this regulation really be enforced? I have my doubts. I'm a bit curious if Elon will stand firm against the Australian government. Actually, this matter is pretty absurd. Parents managing their kids well is more effective than anything else. Platform X is probably about to cause more trouble again, haha. When the ban was announced, the whole world followed suit. Who's next? A fine of 33 million sounds quite realistic. Who cares? Speaking of which, Australia's recent crackdown is indeed tough. How do other countries view this?

Australia is really cracking down this time, a fine of 33 million is definitely not a small number. Why is Musk still going against the whole world? Banning social media for under 16... is that reasonable? It feels like adults are calling the shots again. Policies vary greatly from country to country—some are strict and controlling, others are laissez-faire. X is doing its own thing again, not surprising at all. In an age where kids are flooding the screens, maybe it's really time to regulate. If Australia does this, other platforms will have to follow too—pressure chain reaction.

X is still arguing, I knew it --- Australia is really playing hard, 33 million USD… platforms are all scared --- Prohibited under 16, if it can really be enforced, it’s outrageous --- X is still X after all, everyone has bowed down but it’s still stubborn --- Strict regulation of social media, different countries have vastly different approaches --- Talking about a 33 million fine casually, how many times can the platform withstand it? --- So will X eventually be forced to compromise or truly resist to the end? --- Australia’s methods are a bit fierce, kids probably can’t resist at all --- Everyone has obediently admitted defeat, only X is still fighting back

X is opposing again; this platform just loves to argue. Elon is about to challenge government regulations again. Australia's methods... what can a 13-year-old kid still do? 33 million dollars, really daring to spend that money. Everyone listens obediently, but X refuses to cooperate, as expected. Let's see who is more stubborn now. Regulation is becoming stricter and stricter.
