Google and Meta have requested the Australian government to postpone a proposed bill banning social media for children under 16, emphasizing the need for more time to evaluate its potential effects. The bill, which aims to impose stringent regulations on children's access to social media, has been introduced swiftly, raising concerns among tech companies like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) regarding its clarity and implications on children's rights. Critics argue that essential consultations with experts and stakeholders were insufficient before introducing the legislation.
