Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced Thursday what he called a "world-leading" plan to implement a social media ban for all children under the age of 16. So many message boards I've been on require anyone registering to be 13 years old or older.
I first accessed the internet just after the mid 90's and began to notice very young kids interacting with mature adults and asking questions that were not things I was comfortable with. I thought then that access limits by age would come eventually and here we are nearly 30 years later..... I wondered why there wasn't a "Kids Internet" for those under 18 that would have security measures in place to guard against sources of trouble. Adults could use the adult internet (even if some of the adults can't act as adults)
In that time I saw cartoonist illustrating examples of common annoyances from kids whose parents may have been shocked to see what they were doing with the computer. So many Adults knowing nothing about computers/internet at the time.
Australia plans "world-leading" social media ban for children under 16
Fortunately most kids like these (below) don't go camping in RV's or seek to join
social media forums.
Have you encountered any of this in your time on the internet ?
