So instead of teaching parents that they can just block or limit these apps on their kids phones, the government wants to have identity verification for ALL Australians. Sounds like mass surveillance to me.
As an Australian, I feel it’s up to parents not the government. I also don’t like the idea of having to use some sort of Digital ID to access social media platforms. They won’t be able to police it without this otherwise !
As an Australian, the 1st I heard of this was a couple of weeks back as did most of the Australians I know. Not sure where they get the statement, 61% of Australians support it. The question was probably more along the lines of should there be better control on what media children have access to and to this question I would say yes.... From what I am seeing now, the government is rushing to get this through and that is very risky. In my view this blanket ban is ill advised and will cause more issues than it solves. Australian has some of the worst bullying that is considered entertainment on its radio (Kiss FM,) and terrestrial TV, reality shows, I would think is where they should start not a blanket ban on social media as its is a terrible example to kids today...
I am a young Australian high school English teacher. All of my colleagues and I are very much in support of this decision. As the people primarily responsible for teaching media literacy, we see first hand how damaging social media exposure has been. I'm sorry but the young Aussie journalist on this segment isn't exactly best placed to comment on the issue. Educators and parents are very much in favour of it.
Has Australia not heard that banning anything, stops nothing. It's like giving a kid a car and telling them not to go over 10kph, no passengers, and no music allowed. If bullying is the problem, legally make both online and off bullying a crime.
@mistervo8185 So a child has to live in this world of Internet, social media, etc' and then have to try to navigate it, quite suddenly, at 16. Like Australia's drinking laws. Binge at 18

At some point parents really need to stop sticking their head in the sand and actually monitor what their kids are doing online. The amount of kids I see using RUclips to post inappropriate clips of themselves because they’re not allowed on TikTok is unreal. I’m talking crop tops, booty shorts, doing adult dance moves. Some videos even have the parents in the background in their pjs obviously just thinking their kid is messing around with 0 idea it’s being posted online for everyone to see. I’ve contacted numerous parents and they’re shocked (but grateful) every time. Unfortunately the internet is a dangerous place and it’s up to parents to monitor what’s going on.
One of the long term success that shall be observed in today and the following evenings. The great initiative began by 2nd August and eventually puts it’s greater remarks on many other aspects and dimensions as of to save the planet from “Radioactive pollution is caused by the unmitigated release of radioactive elements and waste into the land, water, air, or nearby living organisms”. Australia just join the wave. 🫶 Many congratulations to those, for this great initiative and a process to save inhabitants, specially “under age” people. 💯 It is an inevitability to believe that {Saving one child is like saving the entire humanity}. 🪐🥇🫧

Excuse me! 😲
The MAJORITY of AUSTRALIANS DO NOT SUPPORT the AUSTRALIAN governments CENSORSHIP!!

Alot of Aussies don't agree
The political class here in Australia are not what I would describe as being deep thinkers.
We could be expecting a TikTok revolt in Australia!
Possibly teenagers riding on the backs of Kangaroos 🦘
It is hard for schools to set rules about cell phones and social media usage when parents are not supportive.
I am a young Australian high school English teacher. All of my colleagues and I are very much in support of this decision. As the people primarily responsible for teaching media literacy, we see first hand how damaging social media exposure has been.

So you grew up with social media and were fine then.
They will make people to get a license from the givernment to surf the web.
Has Australia not heard that banning anything, stops nothing. It's like giving a kid a car and telling them not to go over 10kph, no passengers, and no music allowed. If bullying is the problem, legally make both online and off bullying a crime.
Its like not giving a kid a car.......

Yeh, it’s not like banning/ controlling guns reduced gun violence right?…wait…
@Qliu9999 it's also not like every child and every adult possesses a gun and uses it every day to navigate the new world we live in.
It's not just bullying but protecting kids from; online predators, disinformation,misinformation, antigov propaganda and nut job conspiracy theories.
They should ban kids from having phones. Anyone who gives a phone to a child for personal use should be arrested.
You found the slope and jumped right down it.
I say further ban social media to all students who did schooling or college ,any aged students,( RUclips,Facebook, Instagram, tweeter and many more) .
What ever happened to parenting? Oh wait they're iPad parents.

We are trying to protect our kids and I do support it. It is the right move for us.
Protect your kids with good old parenting..

Totally agree with you, it’s up to parents not the government imo
