Australia’s government will work with states and territories to legislate new age limits for social media websites, as part of a push to protect children’s mental health and shield them from inappropriate content online. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will introduce the new laws before an election due within the next nine months, saying parents were working “without a map” to try and tackle the mental health consequences triggered by social media. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “No generation has faced this challenge before,” Albanese will say in a speech on Tuesday, according to excerpts provided by his office in advance.
