Australia's states and territories have unanimously supported a national plan that would require most social media platforms to restrict access for children under the age of 16. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described this initiative as a world-first approach aimed at safeguarding the well-being of young Australians.
The decision was reached after months of deliberation among the government leaders, who considered various age limits ranging from 14 to 16 years. Despite some initial preferences for a lower age limit, all provinces have agreed to support the age of 16 to ensure consistency across the nation.
