Under-16s and social media: two Online Safety Amendment Acts

What the video says

Which law is behind the under-sixteen social media ban? South Australia commissioned a report and a draft state bill in twenty twenty-four. The rule that started is federal. The Online Safety Amendment Act got royal assent on the tenth of December twenty twenty-four. It says platforms must take reasonable steps to stop under-sixteens having accounts. That started on the tenth of December twenty twenty-five. The penalties are for platforms. eSafety says there are none for kids or parents. A second Act in September doubled the maximum penalty. eSafety puts the new maximum at up to one hundred and nine point two million dollars for a company. In March, eSafety said it was investigating five platforms.
