In a landmark move, Australia has passed a law that prohibits children under 16 from using social media platforms. The legislation, which was passed by the Senate on Thursday, requires tech companies to block access for underage users or pay penalties up to AUD50 million ($32 million). The law is expected to take effect in November 2025, Reuters reported.
