The australian government wants to prevent users under the age of 16 or over to access social media. The goal is the adoption of a law is directed to the end of the year 2025. However, we first need to identify an effective system for the verification of the age. The European commission has launched an investigation into this issue.
The risks to the mental health of youth
Prime minister, Anthony Albanese, said that social media is dangerous for the children. Your use of the excess has a negative impact on physical and mental health of adolescents. Almost all of the social network to stop the recording of a minor under 13 years of age and minors is required a good parent, but it is fairly easy to overcome this limitation, since all you have to do is to lie about the age of your Instagram use IT to find out the age of your real).
In Australia, it has launched a test for the different technologies, including ones that use of the recognition, biometrics, and identity documents which will need to be applied by the companies that provide the service. The draft law will be submitted at the end of the year, and it has to be approved by the year 2025 (with the support of the opposition). It shall enter into force after the 12 months to the future, and after the election of an effective system for the verification of the age.
The entrance will be to the members of the young and old and under the age of 16-years-old. The ban could not be bypassed or with the consent of the parents. The law would apply to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, Snapchat, and YouTube. Also, in France, and Norway want to increase the minimum age, bringing him to 15 years of age.
A leader of the Spot, said that the parents can check on the accounts of their children. Furthermore, the data collection will be used to represent an undue interference in the privacy of the users. It would be better to ask the shop of the application to verify age prior to downloading the app.
In the middle of may, the European Commission started an investigation against the Metës to the alleged violation of the Act, the Services and the Digital (the SEA). The company's Menlo Park, has not taken the necessary measures to Facebook and Instagram, to ensure the mental and physical health of the youth. The current system of verification of the age, does not prevent access to the contents of the unfit.
