Social Media Ban

chickenman

under 16's do not need social media and in some cases neither do they need the internet. a phone for calling and texting, and maybe taking photos is all they need.

jtmorri

I feel it is a good idea as under 16's brains aren't fully developed and generally their regulation of emotions isn't that of an adult. Under 16's have enough to deal with - school, puberty, acceptance, stress, changing sleep patterns. To remove this layer which evokes stress and fear from bullying now extending out of school on social media and FOMO won't hinder. It will give them back their time and space to be themselves and remove the comparison to others, whilst still communicating with friends on general chat apps. Social media is targeting youth with ideals on how they look, dress, their opportunities and compares them to others with the effect of the teen judging themselves as a failure for not meeting the new social media, social norm portrayal. Too many advertisements, too much misinformation about body, health, hacks which can actually endanger a teens health as they go looking for themselves with information accessible at their fingertips rather than asking the advice of an adult or parent.

It doesn't matter if the legislation doesn't stop the use of adult social media (ASM) by young people or not. The point is that it sends a message to society that ASM can be harmful. It also assists families to have this conversation before it all gets out of hand. Legislation by itself is not what is required. We need a society response. Just because something is available, doesn't make it acceptable.

I find it difficult for the authorities to enforce it. We cannot stop a child under 16 from pretending to be 18.

I think they have to provide School ID Card if asked.. I'm not sure how often new ones are issued

tcam

In theory its a great idea but in practice how does it get policed?

bj

I'm ok with the idea, but it will never work. Far too hard to police from parents who are always under lots of pressure in todays world.

The new social media ban for under-16s in Australia has sparked mixed reactions. Some believe it is a necessary step to protect young people from the negative effects of social media, such as cyberbullying, mental health issues, and exposure to inappropriate content. Others argue that it is too restrictive and that social media, when used responsibly, can offer educational and social benefits.

In today’s digital world, social media is filled with a mix of resources, and the boundaries between good and bad content are often unclear. Young users have direct access to this information, sometimes without fully realizing the impact it can have on their lives. It can shape their mindset, emotions, and decision-making in ways that may not always be beneficial.

While banning social media for under-16s might seem like a harsh or selfish decision at first, in the long run, it could have positive effects. It could help protect young minds from harmful influences, allowing them to develop healthier social habits and focus on real-life interactions. Their families and society as a whole may come to appreciate the benefits of this regulation, as it could lead to a generation that is less dependent on social media and more engaged in meaningful, real-world experiences.

Tragk

I think it's good, but it won't solve the issue of bullying. Nothing like this ever does.

Even the 'zero tolerance policies' are crap that harm the victim more than the bully. See every instance of a kid being punished for fighting back instead of allowing themselves to be treated like someone's punching bag. The schools need to pick up the slack and actually punish bullies as much as the parents and government do because as we all saw in Perth in 2023, we were seconds away from having our own Columbine happen here. Something has to give or, God forbid, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Besides, it's all too easy to bypass bans like these. Back in my day, we'd just lie about our age and register an account anyway. Even the Australian firewall can be bypassed in two seconds to access piracy websites and co. Kids are smart and search engines are right there. They know it won't take much to find an answer as to how to bypass whatever the government implements to stop them from accessing social media. Banning social media for under 16s is a bandaid that's just going to be ripped off. Shutting it down entirely might help, but then they'd just switch to Discord groups or go old school with IRC and the like.

The fact is they're kids. They're young, stupid, cruel, and they're learning. We need to teach them not to repeat the mistakes of the past instead of wasting time on distractions like this.

isaacsmum

I support this ban in principle and some form of intervention has been a long time coming. However, this is a slow and not well conceived ban given most teens use social media as an extension of their identity. So if there is nothing to replace it with, it would be useless to the child, parents, teachers. The government need to act on the Tech companies and get changes through the platform designers and operators. Putting the onus on the child and their family is unrealistic and unfair - a Band-Aid to a much much larger issue of the power Tech companies have.
I am eager to see how it plays out and am hopeful more good than harm is done. However, the ban in isolation would do little to curb/ reverse the damage that’s already done and continues to pervade.

PGS

don't stop at 16. can it fully.
getting a but tired of companies who ONLY use FB/X/whatever as a contact point.
people who can't cross the road or walk up/down stairs without telling the world what they are doing are a pain & a danger to others.

Ruskie30748487

What happens if these under aged kids get help from older syblings or just plain lie? How can it be properly enforced?

wendel

Love to know how they're going to Police it, kids lie.

mazzab2003

I think it's a great idea but I want to know HOW it is going to be implemented.. The kids today have such to computer skills, they will know how to "Beat the System" and bypass the age thing. Does it also mean that everyone who want to open a Social Media account is going to have to prove who they are and also their age??

mustang6000

It is a good idea as a concept, but, as many others have said, kids will find a way around the age restrictions. How hard would it be for technology savy teens to create a fake ID and even generate realistic documents as proof of age?
I don't know if there is an answer, other than parents trying to educate their children about the dangers of social media an instill some sense of right & wrong in their children.
Even banning social media sites in Australia won't work, as a VPN is so easy to set up and this will just circumvent any local access restrictions.
Also, as others have said, bullying and similar issues have been with us for generations, the only thing social media has done is make the ability to bully and abuse someone so easy and anonymously.

Bob

In my opinion, this anti-social media should be banned entirely, as there are no checks and balances on what sort of misinformation is spread through these.

madi.sons

I think it's an awesome idea, however, we know teens - we've all been one. They will work a way around.

I think it's a great idea
1. Young minds are too young to be able to understand or cope with the online world and all the dark things that come with it.

2. Sm is an added way to get into someone's life and bulky them anonymously.

3. Sm puts a barrier between people and reality

4. Sm media replaces real

5. Sm is a great platform for business and ads to have more control over what consumers see/hear and it's a form of controlling society. (Ie. See an ad for maccas - you want maccas. See an ad for a must have beauty product, suddenly you need it).

6. Sm keeps kids locked away rather than interacting with family.

7. This need to be/aspire to be like "celebrities" is sick in itself. Celebrities are nothing but a talented singer/actress etc. And some are just rich from family. Yet our young want to do and be everything like them? I'll never understand this. Hollywood is the most messed up place and so much underground filth. If only out kids knew who they are supporting. (Child kidnapping, child abuse, etc) this Sm stuff allows these people access to our children. If this was a neigjbour, you'd do everything in your power to get that beigjbour removed; yet, it's happening in your on very home.

I think it's sad gov has to put these laws in place, but if parents cannot parent their kids and kids respect these limits, then unfortunately, the gov has too. Gov raising our kids is just as bad as social media raising our kids.

I don't think it's a simple answer though. Parents are tired, strung out, having to work 24/7 just to afford food on the table. It's easier to hand your kid a phone than raise them.

The gov is to blame for all of this mess we find ourselves in. They do not care about us. As long as their pockets are filled and they keep peace with other country heads, it will never change.

John3259

Banning social media access does not address one issue that has existed in the school yard since the start of schools being bullying. The bans can be easily bypassed making them effectively inoperable.
Oerhaps instead of expecting governments to legislate in protections parents should take on more responsibility for the world their children grow up in?

ventnorgirl

Think it isgood.only if it can be obeyed by parents

Jeollie

The new social media ban has a lot of merit for protecting our young population- but this is going to be so hard to police and regulate. I’m totally in favour of it. BUT children will just make alias/fake profiles with an age that’s accepted. In reality banning them and being able to make that realistically possible would be awesome. The amount of exploitation, bullying and sexual harassment etc, on social media is absurd. My own daughter was bullied on social media as a young teen and that was over 12 years ago. It’s a real worry what the younger population is exposed too in todays digital age. The violence in electronic games, the availability of violent shows/explicit content on free to air television and just the access to the WWW is really concerning. Parents need to be really strict and really aware of what there little people are doing and what they’re accessing on the net.
I’m so glad that when my own kids grew up (they are 34/29/29yrs) they weren’t able to access what’s out there today. They were outdoor kids and yes they had mobile phones in the later teen years but using them was monitored by myself.
It scared me to think what the next generation of children will have to conquer just to survive the internet and social media. Scary stuff..

redgums

i be happy if the age was 12 not 16,at 16 they get their L to learn to drive,also they can be left school working
The law going crazy

UseHerName

There's a BAN? First I'm hearing this.
Then again, I don't watch the news... also we don't have TV. And the only friend I talk to lives with me and I shy away from socialising now...
Am I "living under a rock?!"

Anyway, I thought schools were already restricting social media. When I was a high school student (2006-2011) the computers we had rejected any social media sites, so if you wanted to go on FB then you'd have to do that with your own device. Which brings us to another dilemma, it was a rule that students could not have their phones. Walking to and from school was okay, but while you were in school you had to leave it in your locker or risk it being confiscated by a coordinator.
Depending on who your coordinator is, it could be very risky.
I remember sitting in class when the one of the coordinators - the one who was cool but intimidating - quickly glanced at us as he walked past (the door had glass window). Stopped. Turned back and rolled the door open."You. You" He pointed one by one. 6 students had the phones taken from that short interaction. The teacher didn't even know, and this eagle eyed tyrant only needed to walk past. Is that even human? I don't think there were phone detecting devices around then for teachers to use.

Anyway, do students really need social media access at school? School is a place for learning and any socialising and teamworking skills you need to build, you can do face to face and in person. Whatever it is they need social media for, they can wait until after school, when they're home.

I think it is a good idea but not sure how it can be policed. Overall it should help with the problems.

RainbowC

I think it's a wonderful idea, but it will only work if lazy parents actually step up to monitor their children's online activities. Otherwise, the kids will workout a way around it and use it anyway.

the rack

I think it is a good move, however I am not convinced it can be implemented fully with kids using fake identities. I am hoping that kids will no longer be bullied online and exposed to other extreme things that have negative influences and are allowed to develop in safer and healthier online environments

Angieg

I agree for a social media ban for under 16's in Australia ... however, where there is a will there is a way and most kids are far advanced with all forms of technology so they will find the loop holes. Will every Australian need to prove their identification and if so, there will be many opposed to this (even though the Government already has enough data on everybody). It sounds great but realistically, I cannot see how this ban could work.

Tim D

They are going to have to verify identities in Australia to ban the under 16 year olds. Most under 16 year olds I know have us oldies well and truly covered when it comes to I.T. so banning them may be a challenge in itself. The new proposed laws are only in Australia so it will not apply overseas. For that reason the Government can probably only focus on keeping the Australian under 16 year olds off it because the internet is global and they cannot control people from overseas. That sort of kills my original idea in the real world of everyone using their real identity (which would have hopefully prevented people like pedophiles pretending to be people they are not and then praying on children - which I considered to be the main thing the government was trying to prevent).
dvdlcs - Understood about people having to hide their identities in certain countries. It is sad that they cannot have free speech and safety on a global platform.

Tim D

A friend of mine said perhaps the answer is for everyone on the internet to use their real identities. This may be problematic to enforce but if everyone on the internet was using their own identities, which could be tracked to them then this may severely reduce the dangers of social media. People will think twice before doing the wrong thing on the internet if it is easily visible to all and traceable. Perhaps if we attacked it from this angle we would not need to restrict 16 year olds from accessing information which seems like an anti democratic policy.

May be OK in (most) Western democracies, but there are many parts of the world where using your true identity may not be a good (safe) idea.

While both good and bad, there is a case for anonymity online.

Sky21

A good idea, but I think it is too little and too late for this to work. The government has taken an initiative, but who will monitor if kids are on social media with a fudged age?
Being online in-front of a screen has become the norm for working, studying, relaxing, socialising, entertaining. Who will be willing to take the responsibility and discipline the children to stay off social media no matter what?
Kids look up to parents and adults around them, will the parents have the time to spend with kids instead of updating their social media profiles?

This Is A Conversation We Do Need To Have Whatever Happens !
If Only Kids Realized That Social Media Is Really Just A Waste Of Time, That Influencers/Celebrities Are People With Really No Skill, Cannot Get A Real Job, And They All Live In La La Land, That It Is More Productive To Do Something About Your Own Life, Find A Purpose In Life Which Matters To You And Those Around You Then Go For It , Rather Than Spending So Much Time Looking At The Time Wasters On Social Media And Trying To Compete With Them !

Hannah32113887

I think it is ridiculous. There is no ethical way to regulate it- kids have been lying about their age on the internet since its inception so without providing some ID to use instagram (which social media is unlikely to cooperate) it is a waste of time. And I think, while yes social media can have negative effects on young people, myself included, for a lot of vulnerable kids it helps provide a sense of community and friendship and allows them to discover themselves (especially queer or marginalized kids in less than welcoming personal lives).

Kids & adults have been lying about their ages long before the internet existed!!

I don't know if it's possible for me to care any less about what they do to social media. I turned my back on social media decades ago (very liberating), when I realised I was wasting my life talking to people on the other side of the planet and ignoring my friends here.

But to address the question about the under 16's, yes, all for it, can't happen soon enough... students in schools where they confiscate mobile during school hours, are already reporting that they have improved focus and are engaging in conversation rather than sitting, staring at their screens.
That said, I agree with some of the others, that kids will find a way around it by setting up profiles with lies about their age; which may land them in a whole other 'world of pain'... engaging with adults and sites they shouldn't be accessing.
But we won't know, unless we try.

Needed asap. I see the damage its doing to kids behavior, there lack of social skills and ability to think.
Its easy to say parents are the problem, if your lucky enough to have well respecting kids at home to your rules.

The government took upon themselves to enforce the ban because they love to be in control. “Listening to parents” was a front to win brownie points.

Jamii2610

As someone who was 16, 8 years ago - The internet was dangerous then and it's only getting worse as time goes on. I asked a few of my female friends my age and we all agreed if the ban existed when we were younger we would have been way more protected from predators and dangerous social media trends.

1. Predators use social media to get in contact with girls especially. I've had so many friends that were prayed on by adults that knew they were children, specifically through snapchat. I know for a fact even boys that we're our age would share around explicit photos they had of girls in their class. I'd dare say that social media has made children both male and female become hypersexualised.

2. a lot of the social media pressures make kids think they have to act older than they are.

3. young people are easily mouldable, you can see it in trends. Back when Tumblr was huge I knew so many girls that wanted a thigh gap despite it being impossible for their body, to the point where they just didn't eat or threw up. I'm seeing the same thing now with under weight young girls painting it as that's how their body is (newsflash it's not) we know this because the same thing happens over and over in a cycle. Plus - huge brands have used trends and marketing to prey on children - my 10 year old cousin begs my aunty for retinol skincare.... Drunk elephant, Glow recipe - these are two brands preying on CHILDREN and targeting children for skincare that is not even meant for them, that will DAMAGE their skin, because it is not meant for children!! They may not be able to target them in their ads but they use influencers who have pull on young audiences to get to children.

4. Social media especially in people under 12 has made kids grossly disrespectful - they're mirroring adult behaviour without having any understanding of the social cues or circumstances where it's appropriate, a lot of teachers are struggling to teach because kids are becoming so out of control - we can amount this to kids that are brought up by the internet with no parental supervision, resulting in no respect for authority (Because they don't experience it) - which leads into;

5. Parents are allowing social media to bring up their kids; Parents complain that they should be the deciders on what their kids are allowed to have - I have seen so many parents plop their kid, unsupervised on a device because they don't want to parent, this is such a large group of parents that the minority that do actually parent their children are going to have to take a hit for all the crappy parents who don't. Because disrespect can become like the plague, their is such an overwhelming amount of kids that consume social media unsupervised that the kids who are supervised are learning behaviour from their peers anyway.

The only way to stop the cycle is to do SOMETHING. I want there to be a better alternative but I can't think of one other than banning it altogether until teenagers brains are a little more developed. I doubt any social media platform is willing to restrict children's use, people would be unwilling to verify their children's identity by sending their private information to social media platforms they don't trust - even if they do another app will just appear that replaces it. Yes, kids will try and bypass this by lying about their age, and maybe parents will let them - who knows - it doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

I think just because this is the way things have been doesn't mean its the way things should be and I see a lot of pushback from people - I think that's mostly rooted in their distrust for the governments and how they will implement this - This is understandable but that doesn't change the value behind the decision, I do not think its malicious. The alternative is letting multimillion dollar corporations and random influencers bring up the next generation of children.

May I also say that I understand both parents nowadays need to work in most families if they are going to provide a secure future for their family, so children (especially once they reach a certain age) are often left on their own at home after school for some time. Once upon a time, children used to fill in this time watching TV. I doubt very much that they are still doing that if they have a smart phone & access to social media!

Very well said, Jamii2610! I'm in my eighties & although I can say even way back then in my younger days, some children tried to grow up too quickly, but we didn't have social media to contend with. We had friends that we would mix with - pen pals (something not really heard of nowadays) & our school friends. And back in those days, I would say that the majority of mothers were "stay at home mothers", who were there every afternoon when their children arrived home from school, so more parental control.
Something HAS to be done & this is just a first step. Better this than not doing anything at all!

Caitlin31982857

The government should not have intervened. It should be up to the parents to decide whether they allow their children on social media and to the extent of their supervision.

It will not reduce the problems. If kids want to use social media, they will find a way to use it. It is very easy to lie about your age when making a social media profile. The only way the government would be able to properly enforce this law is if the platform start requiring people to verify their identity when creating a social media profile which that will start to infringe on individuals right to privacy. Even in that instanc that would require the full cooperation of the platform which is very unlikely.

cjc1959au

Exactly correct! It's just another way for this government to get more power over the Australian people!!

madushesurveys

No social media for developing brains (or anyone) is definitely evidence based undeniable truth. But if a “ban” can be successfully implemented is yet to be seen. The “ban” should be supported by parents/guardians/teachers etc and society as a whole. Only beneficiaries of social media are the companies themselves who sell users’ data and whoever utilities these platforms for propaganda and sell stuff to vulnerable users. (All users are vulnerable because the vast amount of data gathered can be used to create remarkably accurate profiles)

Gordy

Firstly, don't tell me how to parent my children! Second, if you raise good humans there will be no issues if they are on social media. It all starts in the home, you need to have a connection to your kids and if you don't, well then you can let big brother raise them as they see fit.

capfantastic

At the end of the day, you won’t stop teens from using it. If corporations and businesses cared about children at all, they never would have developed social media in the first place. Facebook was first created in an educational setting for students to learn more about each other. It’s basically voyeuristic behaviour, to spy on others, especially women and girls in compromising situations. As I said, if they didn’t think it was good for mental health (of any age), why was it given the go ahead? And why didn’t they think of the downside and develop ways to protect vulnerable young people way before now? The answer is simple. They don’t care and they never cared. If you are concerned for your teen’s mental state, you would be better off explaining to them what it really is, rather than banning it. Treat them like adults for once, and let them make their own decisions. Banning is too little, too late. If anything it will only make some young folks more desperate to get online if it’s restricted.

Thom3268

It seems a lot of young people are catching on to this proposed change and are created social media accounts prematurely. Unsure if the governments social media ban affects current users, if not the intended affect may be hampered. At the end of the day I lean towards agreeing with the ban as appropriate social media usage requires a level of maturity that may be underdeveloped in under 16's.

Natasha30692805

Honesty is key here, and that's in small supply nowadays. When I was younger I would scroll through the dates to accurately identify my DOB when asked, now unless pertinent for identification to secure sites I just change the year to be over 18. I don't see how this ban will stop young people using social media

It won't! They're far too smart with IT not to be able to find their way around "bans".

elsp

I understand how it would work for new users but how will it be “taken away” from current users? Will all users have to upload photo ID? I’m all for the ban but I can’t see how it will be implemented. Won’t young people just find another platform to use instead?

steva

I agree to it but not sure how it will work - kids these days are very tech savy and will find ways to navigate through some other site which may end up being worse

madi.sons

Absolutely fantastic idea. Kids need to be kids. Everything is done on a computer now - from parents putting their kids in front of a screen as an easy 'out' to schooling where everyone needs a laptop to the youth communication through apps and social media.
We have lost the joys of actual life outside a screen. Noone knows how to entertain themselves any more unless it's through a screen.
Actual communication is lost.
Social media is a great way to connect but it also is a tool for people to hide behind.

I live the ban, I do also know teens and they will find a way around it.

P.s I'm old school and have never owned a computer or laptop or ipad.
When I was in high school I was the only kid without a laptop. Everyone pulled their laptops out - I pulled out my trusty pen and paper. By choice.

I do whatever I need to on my phone but other than that, I choose to not engage. I have notifications turned off for everything also because I do not wish to be dependent on a phone and every time it pings needs immediate attention. Nope. I will not let a ping dictate my day. Everything can wait till I'm ready!

Bring on stricter bans I say. Let's get kids creatively back, let's bring back face interaction and let's explore our world beyond a screen.
This idea that we need to document every aspect of our day and share it means you are never experiencing life through your own eyes - but rather a lens. Also, noone really cares about your daily routines or what you eat in a day. They may watch but it will be forgotten after that moment. It's a waste of time.

My opinion!
