Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responded to Elon Musk's criticism of the country's new social media ban for children under 16, suggesting Musk is promoting an agenda for his platform, X. The ban, approved by the Australian government, is one of the strictest regulations targeting social media companies globally. It requires platforms like Meta and TikTok to prevent minors from accessing their services or face significant fines. Albanese expressed willingness to discuss the ban with Musk, emphasizing the law's strong support in parliament. Enforcement methods will begin in January, with the ban taking effect in a year.
