An Australian Senate committee has endorsed a bill to ban social media access for children under 16, while asserting that platforms shouldn't require personal identification like passports for age verification. The government aims to trial an age-verification system potentially using biometrics. The bill has support from the opposition and is expected to pass before the parliamentary year ends. Critics argue that the rushed process needs more consultation, especially concerning the rights of young users.
