Australia is the first nation to ban social media for under-16s

On Wednesday, the lower house of the Australian parliament voted to pass legislation to ban social media for children under 16 years, and the Senate passed the bill on Friday.

Landmark legislation sees the Australian government committed to the novel step of child protection by banning social media for under sixteens.

    Absolute stupidity and a waste of taxpayers’ money spending so much time on this nonsense.

    These incompetent morons are pretty much guaranteeing that they will lose the next election. In the middle of a housing and inflation crisis this is what these fuckheads decided was important.

    I loathe the opposition, but it’s hard to defend the sheer incompetence the Labor Party has displayed their entire term.
