Description
#under16ban #auspol #australia
Australia is moving forward with an Under-16 social media ban, but is it the right solution? In this Dirt Report, I break down eight practical concerns about the proposed legislation, including privacy risks, age verification, enforcement challenges, parental rights, digital ID implications, and whether the policy actually addresses the root causes of online harm.
Rather than reacting emotionally, this video looks at the real-world consequences of banning social media for 13 to 15 year olds and what it could mean for teens, parents, tech companies, and everyday Australians.
Does this law improve online safety, or does it create bigger problems around privacy, government overreach, and digital infrastructure?
Thanks for watching!
