Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is bringing a plan for global action to the G20 summit with a focus on protecting children on social media apps.
The draft laws released this week outline a strict code for social media services such as Facebook and TikTok to adhere to, requiring platforms to take reasonable steps in securing children’s data, including age and location, with parental consent required for users under 16.
The G20 summit will take place in Rome this weekend, where Morrison will meet with other world leaders to discuss the need for greater confidence, security, and safety on social media.
