Australia toughens kids’ social media ban, doubles potential penalties for tech firms

Australia is toughening its social media ban for children by significantly increasing the potential penalties for technology firms. The government has decided to double the fines that tech companies may face if they fail to enforce the restrictions. This move aims to ensure stricter compliance with the legislation designed to protect minors from social media access. The updated measures reflect a more aggressive approach by Australian authorities to hold global platforms accountable for child safety.
