A historic step has been taken in Australia: access for minors under the age of 16 to social media platforms has been officially banned.



The most striking aspect of this law? If platforms do not comply with this rule, they face astronomical fines of up to 33 million dollars. But the real point of interest is here - all responsibility is placed entirely on the companies. Children or their parents will face no sanctions.

This regulation puts social media giants to a tough test in establishing a reliable age verification mechanism. Could this be the start of a new era of compliance for technology platforms? Time will tell.

A $330 million fine sounds intimidating, but can it really stop kids? Doubtful

Australia's move is ruthless, shifting all the blame onto the platform, and a $330,000 fine certainly hurts.

A $33 million fine is indeed hefty, but the question is how to verify it technically? Can the ID verification system truly block kids, or will they just steal ID photos again...

This move in Australia is really genius... A $33 million fine, the platform now has to quickly figure out how to verify age.
