The Australian Financial Review1 min read81 views
Top Australian educators are supporting efforts to limit social media usage among children but emphasize the importance of YouTube as a valuable teaching resource. The Albanese government plans to legislate a minimum age of 16 for using social media platforms including TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. While this decision has raised concerns among YouTubers, it has been positively received by public health advocates who believe it will help protect children's mental health.
