"Social Media responsibility should lie with parents, not the government" is correct, unfortunately, most parents aren't actually that responsible enough

Social media is dangerous either way. Especially for children. It doesn’t matter how you “educate” the children since, they are trouble makers and they break rules and advice like in the video and if the parent isn’t supervising a child’s online activity, which, let’s be honest, I’m sure that the majority of parents aren’t bothered and are too busy to constantly monitor a child’s activity neither do they care, it’s simply just easier to ban social media for children, even if it may provide some educational benefit the negatives heavily outweigh them.
Also the analogy you have provided is irrelevant and fallacious since, banning social media doesn’t completely ban social presence it simply forces individuals to communicate the traditional way or via text/call, which is much safer with children. It’s like why do we have a legal restriction on alcohol, why shouldn’t children partake; it’s because it’s harmful to a child who is still developing psychologically, same thing applies here. The only issue with the ban is the way they may enforce it. It is not secure to provide more biometric data to large corporations.
@@moaz02 have you not seen the large swaths of educational content on RUclips (Mark Rober, Nilered, Electroboom, etc) or Reddit (random questions)?

Although we all would like to say that it’s the parents’ responsibility to supervise their children’s online activities. The truth of the matter is the majority of parents don’t care about internet supervision and/ or are too busy to constantly monitor a child’s social media. It’s unrealistic to deny the law and just expect parents to be responsible for supervision, Let's be honest parental guidance cannot be enforced.
as an aussie who's affected by the ban, I remember hearing someone once say that it was "a 20th century solve to a 21st century problem" and ive never hesrd anything truer.
Despite our Indian media's push to ban Chinese apps and boycott Chinese products, imports from China have reached record highs. Smartphone brands like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo dominate the Indian market as the top three brands. Additionally, all Indians play Chinese games, and even though TikTok is banned in India, many continue to access it using VPNs.
Whereas the example you have provided clearly demonstrates adult supervision of social media, most of the time children access the internet alone and are most prone to abuse. “Educating” children on the dangers of the internet never has worked since, children break rules and ignore advice and parents aren’t willing to supervise their children’s online activity.
@linphilip6389 nah tiktok is worse u watching RUclips now n the hypocrite u is u saying RUclips is worst when RUclips can demonetize u n remove u by what u say. Gtfoh Npc.. Think before u type
How do they know the person using the app is under/above 16? A government that can implement this kind of control effectively should be more concerning than the app itself.
As teen with depression, I strongly disagree with this law, "protecting children" they say, they are the only ones that make me feel true happiness, I don't have to act like someone I am not to get their attention, they are the only ones that gives me compliments and joy
Do you mind pronouncing "Australia" correctly? It's not "Ostralia", it's "Auhstralia". ALSO YES IT'S IN NOVEMBER HOPEFULLY IT WILL TAKE EFFECT ON NOVEMBER 5TH OR LATER BC MY BIRTHDAY IS THE 4TH
So the new social media ban in Australia is widely supported by all sides of politics. Teenagers are already getting ready for not having access to social media, they understand its a government ban for their wellbeing so they can focus on their education and sports which will give them an advantage when they are adults.
@archangel763 Teenagers and adults will learn it's an idiotic ban and will use VPNs to access them again, just like what the people in China and India do
what if the child's favourite way to cope is to watch videos of their interest? im not the best at explaining, but i believe banning children under the age of 14-15 is more fair, but i think that there should probably a system (or whatever u call it) which kinda 'strictly' educate teens on how to use social media properly and for parents to be aware of what their child is doing on social media this is only my opinion, but i still wish that the ban was for children under 14-15 would be more fair
Social media responsability should lie with ALL, goverment and parents. Goverment should provide the tools for parents to do their job... and that's what is happening in Australia. Now parents have no excuse. Solution for them is quite simple: there is no way I could hide a phone or an electronic device from my parents when I was under 16.
They should do this in my country. Kids are writing about P Diddy in their school essays. Unsupervised internet access has been happening since the beginning, but the problem now is that the internet today is much crazier now than before. The internet is not a safe place for kids anymore.
thats just heavily tyrannical for the government to restrict instagram/facebook usage for under 16s, there legit 2 years away from reaching adulthood your asking for too much
when theres a will theres a way (it wont work, i know someone who had a facebook account at the age of 8 and multiple people with a discord account under 13)
Same i had one too at that age. There is nothing and no one that stops you from entering a fake age. Still i asked my parents whenever i wanted to make an account for something. Idk why i just felt i had to and they were fine with it anyway.
The thing is I could be a 12 years old boy pretending to be a 16 years old boy by lying about my age on my social media platform. I could do that by making up the date/month/year of my birth, and still access my social media account easily
That's just doing their job for them. Now most tiktok users are voting aged australians and china can influence the people they want to influence. should just be ban on tiktok like what the US did
It’s still being sorted but as far as I can tell it would apply to anyone under the age of 16 with an ip address showing its location as being in Australia. That would also apply to tourists under age 16 visiting Australia no matter where they are visiting from just like any other Australian law that tourists need to abide by while visiting. No person would be detained and only the social media platform can be punished.
Fully agreed, kids without mental maturity should be shielded from internet, but how do people enforce these? I wouldn't want the government or social medias to gain access to my private information for 'verification'
I wish they would do this around the world, personally I’d be happy to see less teenage trolls on feeds. They did it to themselves and if they circumvent it the laws get worse 🤷♀️.
Who misses something on social media? Maybe the younger generation should read books and turn off the TV. You don't miss anything with constant public news

Love how the old bloke said it’s the parents responsibility. He didn’t even have to deal with social media for his kids when they were growing up. That or he never had any to begin with.
Because people in most countries see it as the responsibility of the PARENTS to monitor and control what their children consume, not the responsibility of the government.
"Social Media responsibility should lie with parents, not the government" is correct, unfortunately, most parents aren't actually that responsible enough

Who misses something on social media? Maybe the younger generation should read books and turn off the TV. You don't miss anything with constant public news
The generation before you said the same about watching “Television” and going out to meet other children your age🧐 people like you are the ones that keep the world from progressing further 😂
and no minor duh 15 older
I support this law even i am not an Australian
Those kids will just make a new account and lie about their age. They'l always find a way.

They're not going to ban thing like forums and video game chats so bullying is just going to keep in happening. A lot of half measures here.

Because people in most countries see it as the responsibility of the PARENTS to monitor and control what their children consume, not the responsibility of the government.
Ban under 18 would be better, less work for the police.
