当地时间11月28日，澳大利亚联邦参议院投票通过了对该国16岁以下人群实施社交媒体禁令的法案。该法案将成为全球最严格的社交媒体管理条例。
A social media ban for children under 16 passed the Australian Senate on Thursday.
至此，该法案通过了参众两院的审议正式成为法律。该法律将在一年后生效实施，旨在给有关社交媒体公司找到实施禁令的具体办法。澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯表示，此举有利于保护目标人群的心理健康。
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters in Canberra that the world-first laws banning anyone under the age of 16 from accessing social media will ensure the safety of young Australians. "Platforms now have a social responsibility to ensure the safety of our kids is a priority for them," he said.

根据这一法案，16岁以下未成年人即使获得家长同意也不能使用社交媒体平台。如果社交媒体平台系统性地未能阻止16岁以下人群拥有账号，将面临最高4950万澳元（约合2.3亿元人民币）罚款。同时，社交媒体公司不能强迫用户提供评估年龄的政府身份证件。
The law will make platforms including TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram liable for fines of up to 49.5 million Australian dollars (¥230 million) for systemic failures to prevent children younger than 16 from holding accounts. Social media companies also won't be able to force users to provide government identification, including the Digital ID, to assess their age.
有居民表示，该法案“对我们孩子的安全至关重要”。但也有批评人士认为，这项禁令将剥夺儿童接触社交媒体积极方面的机会，还会剥夺平台打造更安全的网络空间的动力。
