Big Brother’s digital prison looms Down Under, as Aussie parliament set to ban social media for kids under 16

Big Brother’s digital prison looms Down Under, as Aussie parliament set to ban social media for kids under 16 Australia is inching closer to banning social media for kids under 16, citing mental and physical health risks from too much scrolling. The catch is that the proposed law would require social media platforms to implement age-verification measures, potentially including biometrics or even government IDs. Critics claim that this could result in Australian netizens ending up in a digital prison where every post, like, or comment could be monitored, flagged, or labeled problematic by Big Brother. The bill has already sailed through the House of Representatives, and now the Senate is expected to put it to a vote soon - a recent cartoon from Senator Pauline Hanson summed the proposed legislation up well. #Australia Source: RT News
