Social media companies voice concerns over the “irrational” decision to exempt YouTube from Australia’s ban on under-16s.

One thought on “Social media firms criticise ‘irrational’ exemption of YouTube from Australia’s under-16s ban”

  1. It’s interesting to see social media firms expressing concern over the exemption of YouTube from Australia’s ban on under-16s. This highlights the ongoing debate about child safety online and the responsibilities of different platforms. While YouTube offers valuable educational and entertainment content, the potential risks associated with unsupervised access to its vast array of videos are significant. Critics argue that a uniform approach to online safety is necessary, and exemptions can create inconsistencies that undermine efforts to protect young users. Balancing accessibility with safety is crucial, and it might be worth considering stricter content moderation and age verification measures across all platforms to ensure a safer online environment for children. What are your thoughts on how best to address this issue?
