Social media ban under 16 in Australia

[possessor]

60 minute channel is the best when comes to documentary not going to lie. It’s the 11 years old girl’s parents that bug me so much

Can you send me a link to that? I wanna see how unreliable it is.

That's the JC Documentary.

I'm assuming the movie clips are ripped from Australian VHS releases of Police Story, as the clip they used featured the score of the 1986 export version, which coincidentally was on the Australian release of Police Story.

Oh, funny, 'POLICE STORY' was released as 'POLICE STORY 2' in Australia. Haha.

Yeah, the US is not the best place to live (for countless of reasons)

Well, when all you hear is news about the US having retarded presidents, childhood obesity in the US (which is why LazyTown started anyways) and school shooting it makes you really think:


This country sucks.

Anyway, it really more the parents fault than anything. I had a friend say “The reason why the ban is happening and kids are dying is because their own kid doesn’t trust them” (for example they know their parents will jokes about it and ignore it). Also, on the 60 minutes channel one of the parents did the most fakes crys I ever seen. Yet they given their 11 years old kid their phone back even after they found out their kid was to talking on Snapchat to strangers and guess what happens next… 🙄

I know the 60 Minute channel for having reliable, informative information. Most of the report they made about Jackie Chan was correct info.

Do you live in the US?

I would never want to live there.

Europe for me.

We don't have a ban here and I don't think it will come. It's discussed but our liberal government don't want it. It's up to the parents and schools to decide. There has been some movement lately that comes from the parents themselves though. There are social groups all over the country, which parents can join, that are against the use of smartphones under the age of 12. This creates areas where almost no children under the age of 12 have a smartphone, and therefore no longer use social media. This has to be done collectively, otherwise it won't work. This really has to come from the parents themselves.

Here’s someone outside of Australia reaction to the ban

Skipped to 3:31 to the part and ends at 19:55 before he switches to another topic

Here’s someone kind of joking about the ban but with good points

I meant I walked to primary school by myself without a phone since the age of 9-10ish

It’s a good ban but the thing about the ban is that it isn’t logically thought out much for the privacy for the people older than 16

But kind of the parents mistake for giving their child their own phone at 9-12 years old even at 7 at some cases. Like what did they think is going to happen (I wasn’t given a phone until the first year of high school. Plus I walked to primary school without a phone every day. So, why should they have a phone in the first place.)

If they made a social media account on a computer or tablet it’s quite different as those devices are easy to get parental control on or mostly family shared especially at their age

Not necessarily a bad law but it was rushed. I've seen mixed opinions from mental health and tech experts. It needed more consolation

So, punish me for weakness

Blame me for everything

I don't like the suffering

I like the sympathy it brings

Screw Albanese, he's only banning under-16s from social media because he's the only one that gets 'cyber-bullied' by them.

Blame the apps and not the parents. How logical.

[possessor]

Uhhhh yep we are cooked

[boredjedi]

Yeah I heard about that

[chuft]

And here we go

Tech companies put on notice as Australia passes world-first social media ban for under-16s
