Meta settlement opens new front in global fight over social media harm
Meta’s move to restrict teenagers’ use of social media in the US shows companies have tools to better protect young people online, Australian regulators said on Thursday, as the country grapples with patchy enforcement of restrictions at home.
Meta’s up to $18 billion settlement with nearly 50 US states over social media harm to teenagers has opened a new front in a global government fight to protect children and curb addiction to platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
Governments around the world are trying to curb children’s access to harmful online content, including a world-first ban in Australia late last year on social media for children under 16. Australian Communications Minister Anika Wells said social media companies “have the tools at their disposal to protect young people from their addictive features but have chosen not to use them”.
