Australia's u16's social media ban law comes into effect today
The Australian government has now legislated to remove parents from the role of being parents in their child's online space from today (December 10th 2025).
The Australian government (via directives from our 'imported E-Karen' Julie Inman-Grant) is also attempting to make social media companies ban/block/delete/sanction *parents accounts* if parents allow their children to access social media via their accounts!
In addition, she is framing the basis for the ban in broader terms around the protection of women (exclusively) from online-perpetrated domestic violence, bullying and abuse while using very gender-specific language in all her public statements that totally ignores the fact that approximately 1/3 of DV, etc. is perpetrated *by* women and targeted *at* men.
