Yesterday South Australian Premier @PMalinauskasMP announced a proposed bill that would limit access to social media for children under the age of 14, and between the ages of 14 and 15 years without parental consent. Read our full statement: news.esafety.gov.au/4efgZI7
The proposed bill, part of a wide-ranging and comprehensive report authored by the Honourable Robert French AC, comes in the midst of a national debate about children's use of social media, a debate eSafety welcomes in support of an evidence-based, nationally cohesive approach.
