The ban on the arrival of the shortcomings to the communication site in Australia becomes a law
The decision to ban social media in Australia for children under the age of 16 will be legal after its approval in the Senate, the highest board of parliament, even with questions on how to implement new restrictions. The Government of the Labor Party, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz, joined the Liberal National Opposition on Thursday to accept the legislation, and ignored the lawmakers’ concerns about the velocity of the law. The restrictions are expected to be one of the most stringent in the world. Under the new regulations, which will come into effect within about one year, children under the age of 16 will be prevented from creating accounts on famous social networks, including “Facebook”, “Instagram”, “Snapchat” and “Talk Talk”. Popular support, multiple polls showed that the vast majority of Australian voters supported the new regulations in principle, such as a survey conducted by YouGov and published on Tuesday that 77% supported the ban. Technology companies themselves will be responsible for imposing a ban, with a threat of fines of up to $ 50 million ($ 32.4 million) if they do not act. The legislation does not determine how websites will be reached from the ages of users. Global technology companies have already expressed their strong opposition to legislation during a brief investigation by the Australian Senate, saying that they consider the new laws in a hurry and undeniable. In a statement to the council, Mita said that the embargo of social media “ignores the practical reality of age verification techniques.” However, the opposition of technology giants came the strongest response of “X” and owner Elon Musk, where he said in a post on the social media platform that is owned by it, that these laws are “an indirect way to control the arrival of all Australians to the Internet.” In his statement following the investigation of the Senate, X indicated that legal measures could be taken against these laws, considering that they could be illegal.
