U16's Censorship Bill Fails to Protect Kids from Harm
This is the third and final session on the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 — aka U16's Social Media Ban - an important piece of legislation being waved through by the Liberal and Labor parties with minimal debate. The Department was called to explain the bill, which of course they defended with responses that would not hold up under closer scrutiny. If only Senators had time to do this.
Several serious revelations emerged during the Department’s testimony, including this little pearl: it's better for foreign-owned multinational tech platforms to control children’s internet use than for parents to supervise or manage their children’s social media and online interactions. One Nation strongly disagrees.
I also raised concerns about the YouTube exemption, which is worded in such a way that it could apply to any video streaming site, including pornographic sites. The Department’s response was to point to other regulations and codes that "supposedly" protect children from accessing porn.
What utter nonsense! Any child in this country without a parental lock can access Pornhub by simply clicking the "Are you over 18?" box. Teachers nationwide report that even primary school students are being exposed to and influenced by pornography. If this bill accomplishes anything good, it should be to prevent children from accessing pornography, which it deliberately avoids doing.
This bill claims to be about many things - keeping children safe is not one of them.
