澳大利亚将从12月10日起禁止社交媒体使用16岁以下者,要求平台做出合理努力,在没有普遍年龄核查的情况下封锁未成年人。 Australia will ban under-16s from social media starting Dec. 10, requiring platforms to make reasonable efforts to block minors without universal age verification.

澳大利亚将自12月10日起强制执行即将生效的社交媒体年龄禁令, Australia will enforce its upcoming social media age ban, effective December 10, without requiring platforms to verify every user's age. eSafety专员Julie Inman Grant说,期望TikTok、Facebook和Instagram等公司重新核实所有现有用户是不合理的,因为大多数公司已经有足够的数据来确定用户是否超过16岁。 The eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, stated it would be unreasonable to expect companies like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram to reverify all existing users, as most already have sufficient data to determine if users are over 16. 世界上首次全国禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体,使得平台能够证明作出合理努力将未成年人排除在外,对系统失灵的惩罚最高达5 000万澳元。 The world’s first nationwide ban on children under 16 using social media allows platforms to demonstrate reasonable efforts to exclude minors, with penalties up to A$50 million for systemic failures. 有人提出了隐私问题,但监管者维持法律并不要求普遍的年龄检查。 Privacy concerns have been raised, but regulators maintain the law does not mandate universal age checks.
