'I'll Find A Way': Australian Teens Shocking Reaction To World-First Ban on Social Media for Under16

In a world-first move, Australia has passed a law banning children under the age of 16 from using social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

The law, which was approved by parliament with bipartisan support, aims to protect kids from the harmful effects of online content, including body image issues and cyberbullying.

But the legislation has sparked mixed reactions across the nation, with some applauding the government's commitment to child safety, while others question how it will be enforced and if it infringes on personal freedoms. Is this bold new law the right solution or an overreach?

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias [Video]

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias

France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content. The scandal deepened after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes. #France #ElonMusk #XPlatform #FreeSpeech #HateSpeech #AI #Grok #Misinformation #AlgorithmBias #TechNews #Macron #Cybersecurity #AfD #EuropeanPolitics #SocialMedia #MuskAI #DigitalRegulation #MediaManipulation #DemocracyThreat #Disinformation Also Read Linda Yaccarino Resigns As CEO Of X After Two Transformative Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/linda-yaccarino-resigns-as-ceo-of-x-after-two-transformative-years-7796371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk’s Starlink Cleared To Operate In India, Services To Begin Soon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-s-starlink-cleared-to-operate-in-india-services-to-begin-soon-7796229.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~
