A social media ban for children under 16 passed the Australian Senate on Thursday and will soon become a world-first law.
The Senate passed the bill 34-19. The House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved the legislation 102-13.
The House has yet to endorse1 opposition2 amendments3 made in the Senate. But that is a formality since the government has already agreed they will pass.
Digital Industry Group Inc., an advocate for the platforms in Australia, said questions remain about the law’s impact on children, its technical foundations and scope.
