According to the report of the international news agency, under the proposed law, social media companies could be fined up to $32.5 million if they do not take appropriate measures to prevent children under the age of 16 from creating accounts.

Earlier, the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had said in a news conference that “social media is harming our children and I am asking for time on this.”

He cited the dangers posed to children’s physical and mental health by excessive use of social media, he said, particularly girls at risk of harmful depictions of their images and boys’ nasty comments.

He said that it is a matter of concern if 14-year-old children are receiving such harmful substances, because at this age they go through life changes and their thoughts mature, though. In this difficult time they have to listen and act.
