SOCIAL-MEDIA BAN IMPOSES BRAVE NEW WORLD ON AUSTRALIAN TEENS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Several social media platforms are now required to shut down the accounts of teens under 16 in Australia under a new law intended to shelter children from the mental-health risks of life online. These companies are now required to take reasonable steps to enforce the new rules under threat of penalty. Parents and children won't be fined. Australia isn't alone in its effort - Malaysia, the EU, New Zealand, Florida, and other regions are also discussing similar restrictions.
