新西兰提议禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体保护他们。 New Zealand proposes banning kids under 16 from social media to protect them online.

新西兰正在考虑制定一项法律,禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体,这类似于澳大利亚最近的条例。 New Zealand is considering a law that would ban children under 16 from using social media, similar to Australia's recent regulations. 如果通过,社交媒体公司将需要核实用户的年龄,并阻止未成年人开立账户,否则将因不遵守规定而被罚款高达200万新西兰元。 If passed, social media companies would need to verify users' ages and block minors from creating accounts, facing fines of up to NZ$2 million for non-compliance. 该提案旨在保护年轻人免受在线风险,但在隐私关切和执行方面面临反对意见。 The proposal aims to protect young people from online dangers, but faces opposition over privacy concerns and enforcement.
