“This will be one of the biggest social and cultural changes our nation has faced,” Albanese said in a statement. “The onus will be on social media companies to ensure no child under 16 is on their platforms.”
Albanese and Communications Minister Anika Wells also spoke about the ban on television talk shows on Sunday, while newspapers around the country covered the ban with extensive commentary, debate and guides for parents on how to help children adapt to the change.
A successful rollout of the restrictions in Australia is seen as likely to bolster global momentum, with nations from Europe to Brazil and Malaysia working on plans to restrict children from holding social media accounts.
