“This is a day in which my pride to be prime minister of Australia has never been greater. This is world-leading. This is Australia showing enough is enough,” Albanese said as the country’s under-16s social media ban came into effect on Wednesday. Albanese pointed to gathered media including those from the BBC, CNN and from Japan. He said the world was watching. The news has indeed turned heads globally. Some countries have already announced an intention to follow suit, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Denmark and Norway.
Many Australians support this ban, with almost two-thirds of voters agreeing with the new rule. Major social media companies, including TikTok and Instagram, were asked to follow the ban. At first, some companies expressed resistance or concern, but they all said they would obey the rule by the time the ban started. They use different methods, like checking faces or asking for ID, to verify(验证) users’ ages.
Carrying out the ban in practice, however, has proved far more difficult than designing it on paper. Large numbers of young people have already discovered methods to bypass the restrictions. The Prime Minister himself recounted that during a school visit, students openly admitted that many of their friends had “dodged it”. Online searches for ways to get around age-verification systems also surged dramatically, highlighting how quickly and creatively
teenagers adapt to new rules.
In spite of these setbacks, Australia’s e-Safety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, has insisted that the government will not be discouraged. She described the policy as part of a “long game” to safeguard children’s well-being. Authorities plan to monitor how many underage users are removed from social media platforms and to conduct research on whether the ban leads to measurable improvements in teenagers’ mental health and academic performance, including standardized test results. Through this approach, the government hopes to position Australia as a global leader in developing new strategies to keep young people safe online.
Public reaction remains mixed. Some parents say it is a relief to have their children more present at home; others worry that isolated young people will lose vital online support. For Wayne Holdsworth, a Melbourne father whose son died after being bullied online, the law is a necessary step. He believes, combined with education, it will better equip teens to handle social media when they finally log back on at 16.
