Description
Australian lawmakers passed landmark rules to ban under 16s from social media on Thursday. The landmark legislation would mean the likes of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat have to take "reasonable steps" to prevent young teens from having accounts.
"It'll be a weird feeling to not have it," says 12-year-old Angus Lydom. However, with no details on how the rules will be enforced, the pre-teen seems unphased, "I’ll find a way, and so will all my other friends," he tells AFP. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
