Australia Bans Social Media For People Under 16 Years Old by DiamondsAreFore: 2:31pm On Nov 29
Australia has passed a law banning social media for kids under 16, placing responsibility on tech companies to enforce the rule. Companies like Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat have one year to comply or face fines of up to $32 million.

The law aims to protect children from online harm but prohibits platforms from using ID checks to verify age, raising questions about how they will comply.

FCT and environs

As the year gradually draws to an end, and a lot of people and organizations begin to prepare for the yuletide season, one major commodity that is a constant in the end of year preparations of most organizations is RICE.

B1 rice is a win-win because you're buying quality rice directly from the mill at a very discounted price. It is long grain, polished and stone free rice.

50kg - 85k
25kg - 43k
10kg - 23k

Please reach out to take advantage, and remember, time is of the essence, if you want tog get the best prices, you must hurry before the rush hour commences.

That’s what they make you to believe!

They only have realized that social media is enlightening many, and if they don’t curb it, there will never be another generation of fools.

They are going back to the basics. Indoctrinate them when they young so they will not depart from it when they are old, and even if they depart, it would be too late.

GREAT LAW BUT CANNOT BE ENFORCED.




16 YEARS CAN DO SOCIAL MEDIA BUT 15 YEARS CANNOT, THESE ARE KIDS OPERATING SMART PHONE AND INTERNET DEVICES.




SOME OF THEM ARE COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS.

Nigerians should be banned from all social media for 5 years. People need to start getting serious with their lives in this country, and no more in-bound diaspora remittances, until we finally learn to face off with the tyrants who call themselves leaders in this space.

Enforce the same ban in Nigeria for under-23s and de-monetize all of social media.

We've had enough of these overnight content creators.
