Australia To Include Youtube In Under-16 Social Media Ban
CANBERRA, July 30 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Australia will include YouTube in its world-first social media platform ban for children under 16 after initially granting the platform an exemption, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced, reported Xinhua. The federal government has accepted a recommendation from its online safety regulator, the eSafety Commissioner, to include YouTube in the social media ban, said Albanese and Anika Wells, the minister for communications, at a press conference in Canberra on Wednesday. YouTube was initially granted an exemption from the ban, which will come into effect from Dec. 10, due to its education and health content. Nonetheless, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant had told the government in a formal advice in June that the platform exposes children to harmful content. bootstrap slideshow Albanese said that the government is prepared to "take action" against social media platforms that cause social harm. "We know this is not the only solution, and there's more to do. But it will make a difference," he said. Wells said that the decision to include YouTube in the ban was about "prioritising parents ahead of platforms." The announcement comes after YouTube, and parent company Google, earlier in July threatened legal action on constitutional grounds against any move by the government to remove the platform's exemption. Wells said that the government would not be intimidated by technology companies. "We can't control the ocean, but we can police the sharks, and that is why we will not be intimidated by legal threats when this is a genuine fight for the well-being of Australian kids," she said.

YouTube to be included in Australia's teen social media ban
Online gaming, messaging, education and health apps are excluded from the ban. — Photo by Christian Wiediger on Unsplash YouTube will be included in Australia's social media ban for children under 16 years of age, an about-face by officials after the Google-owned video site had initially been left out of the legislation. YouTube joins Meta Platforms Inc.'s Facebook and Instagram, Snap Inc.'s Snapchat, TikTok and X in the ban on underage account holders, which is due to come into force on Dec. 10, the government said in a statement. "We know that social media is doing social harm,' Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said at a press conference Wednesday. "We know this is not the only solution and there's more to do. But it will make a difference.' The age-restricted social media platforms face fines of as much as A$49.5mil (RM136.6mil) for failing to stop underage account holders users on their services, the government said. Though the legislation allows Australian authorities the flexibility to change the list of firms that must comply, YouTube's exclusion had riled rivals. That was further fueled by April's revelation that then-Communications Minister Michelle Rowland had made a personal pledge of exemption to the video site's boss. Australia's online regulator called on authorities to reverse YouTube's immunity last month, with eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant saying data show it's young Australians' most-used social media platform – and biggest source of harm. Online gaming, messaging, education and health apps are excluded from the ban. "These types of online services have been excluded from the minimum age obligations because they pose fewer social media harms to under-16s,' Communications Minister Anika Wells told the media briefing. YouTube Kids, with content geared to children and parental control settings – will also remain spared from the legislation, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corp. – Bloomberg
