The ban will take effect a year after the law is passed, making it illegal for children under 16 in Australia to use social media. Should Malaysia follow suit?
. Said to be a “world-leading” initiative, the announcement was made by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese yesterday who will be taking the proposal to a virtual national cabinet meeting today.
Albanese said during a media conference: “If you’re a 14-year-old kid getting this stuff, at a time where you’re going through life’s changes and maturing, it can be a really difficult time and what we’re doing is listening and then acting.”“I’ve spoken to thousands of parents, grandparents, aunties, and uncles and like me they are worried sick about the safety of our kids online,” he added.
In this day and age, social media has also become a crucial part of people’s lives, more so with teenagers. Social media is being used in not just schools, but can also be helpful for teenagers when looking for part-time jobs, or engaging with potential employers and education institutions.Australia is not the first to limit children’s access to social media, but should Malaysia follow suit?
