I think this could be a "cover" for having to provide ID to access social media regardless of your age, and thus anonymity would be impossible. This would impact on free speech, expression and possibly even journalism. It's quite clear that Austrlia is becoming more and more Authoritarian.
To anyone that doesnt understand this, this is the same as needing to be old enough to buy alcohol, your freedom isnt at stake, this is to protect kids from the bad parts of the internet, and it will revert these kids back to before social media sites became so big, so they wont lose social skills. This i would advocate for all nations.
Very interesting that Albanese government are not banning porns from young people under 16 years of age. Discusting from Albanese government that they allow young people to see porns.....but not other things on Facebook. It is up to parents job not the government job to tell young people what to watch. SHAME ON ALBANESE AND HIS GOVERNMENT!!!
@@alexfagyas9342 man, your really lost on this, different parts of the world look at things differently, it doesn't make them right or wrong, do I think children should have access to that material, oh god, not at all, but that's something that can happen all over anywhere, because all it takes is to click " yes I over this age" so this will even protect children from that. Since they would have to actually possess ID, so the ability to see that material is even more so in the hands of the parents. As the parent would be the only way they could gain access to that material. Same with thing as we have now with alcohol, tabacoo, tattoos, and R rated movies. Here's another solid point if a child is being malnourished, beaten, and abused, you want the government to step in and take the kids away from the parents allowing and doing it correct? Well that means your already ok with what your now complaining about, simply put, anyone can be a parent, it's the easiest thing on the planet to become, but not everyone is actually capable of "being" a parent.
Absolute unhinged. Get a grip on reality. When we start to go down this road: Prohibiting all alcohol consumption on all and everybody will have a much higher impact. But yeah take something from a group that has no say in this matter.
@@nanucitNot a Ban. Social Media can be Great in the Right hands. I Have learned so many things with it. A Ban for TikTok? Yes please. But the Rest Should be regulated.
I totally agree with it. I don’t think all social media should be banned TH-cam and google is educational but Facebook , instagram, tick tok etc it’s ruining kids life’s.
Amazing. I applaud Australia, a brave move which NEEDED to happen. The knock on effect social media has is frightening.. it's too late for quite a few young people now.. but there will Be a healthier new wave

It's not a WiFi issue. It's a device ID thing. You would think that with all the information big tech firms have on us now they can weed out 90% as under, or over age.
It is not only getting info of children, the idea would be to also collect adult information. As you have to prove your age, it will collect the information adults enter! How bazaar!
Oh yes the Nanny State at it again but completely MUM about gambling ads, which is more "harmful" or has greatest risk of ADDICTION? Electioneering at it's finest, but at the end of this term aside from this ban all they have to show for it is a surplus and some minor tweaks to housing policy.
I hope all those in that age group remember this in 3-4 years time when they become voters, and target ousting Labor, Greens and Liberals for this attack on human rights.
Unfortunately you need to become a bit older to understand why this could be a step forward for the society if done right. There should be a legal platform though so children/teens can stay in touch because it’s what kids used social media for first when internet was new and that was an advantage for everyone’s social life.
Kids don't realize how absolutely good this would be for them and how much more they'd enjoy life. Saddly the world's too deep into social media that even if it did pass its like throwing a peanut at a elephant. Plus I remember porn before the internet, we still found ways 😂 and so will they.

This will force every Australian to provide ID to gain access to social media. This is the start of internet ID.
Good
It's the mark of the beast.
Banning tiktok and instagram for teenagers is a good thing in my opinion. Maybe banning tiktok for everyone
Banning Hollywood movies, Instagram, Disneyland, etc are good for all mankind
They will find a way around anything the government tries to do. It will just push the kids into the dark corners of the internet with all the creeps.
This will force every Australian to provide ID to gain access to social media which means good bye being able to have anonymous accounts.
Why ?

They really don't. This is an ignorant move

Social media needs reform. Promoting contention is not a positive business plan. Protections can make social media a positive experience.
Just make these providers be liable like print media. It will all go away very quickly.

Who are you to tell what is good for others to do, should the government regulate also what you do in your free time?
Maybe 18 would be better age limit so people had their ID´s
