Issue 48 Monday 7 December 2024 by The Australian Local Government Job Directory

The World is closely monitoring Australia’s pioneering social media ban for under 16’s, which aims to curb online misinformation, manipulation and uncensored exposure of content for our precious young people.

This unprecedented legislation has sparked global debate about the balance between regulation and freedom of expression, mostly from the media companies themselves. Ironic really!

This is, of course, a global challenge, and countries around the world are grappling with similar issuing, watching closely how Australia enforces this ban, particularly regarding potential impacts on user behaviour and platform compliance.

It’s interesting to note that Meta has commenced implementing the ban a week earlier.

Whilst this new legislation is not foolproof, parents of under 16’s are welcoming this as an additional tool to help keep those pre-teen and teenage minds safe, in some instances, from themselves.

As we navigate these uncharted waters, the outcomes could influence global policies on social media regulation. It is likely to become a pivotal Case Study in the ever-evolving landscape of online communications. May this action ultimately bring a safer level of accountability to the social media companies that have successfully abdicated their human responsibilities for far too long.
