Pakistan, June 29 -- Australia is set to introduce new legislation that will strengthen its ban on social media access for children under 16 while giving the national internet regulator greater authority to take legal action against technology companies that fail to comply. The proposed changes aim to improve enforcement of the landmark restrictions introduced in December.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said too many children continue to use social media despite the existing law, adding that technology companies have not done enough to prevent underage users from accessing their platforms. He stressed that the government remains committed to ensuring firms meet their legal responsibilities and protect young Australians online.
