"Australia Impone Nuevas Regulaciones: Prohibición de Redes Sociales para Menores de 16 Años" - The New York Times

Los críticos afirman que persisten interrogantes significativas no solo en relación con la forma en que se hará cumplir la nueva ley, sino también sobre si la prohibición realmente salvaguardará a los jóvenes.

The bill, which the government calls a “world leading” move to protect young people online, was approved in the Senate on Thursday with support from both of the country’s major parties. The lower house of Parliament had passed it earlier in the week.

“This is about protecting young people — not punishing or isolating them,” said Michelle Rowland, Australia’s communications minister. She cited exposure to content about drug abuse, eating disorders and violence as some of the harms children can encounter online.
