Follow Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act 2024
The Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act 2024 raises significant concerns about privacy and free expression by imposing age verification requirements on social media users. This legislation not only risks infringing on individual liberties but also places undue pressure on tech companies to enforce compliance, potentially leading to increased censorship and surveillance of users. The implications of such laws extend beyond age restrictions, threatening the fundamental right to communicate freely online.
