Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed the government is considering tougher measures to strengthen its world-first social media ban for young people, amid concerns that the current laws are not strong enough to check the power of major tech platforms. Since December, platforms including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Twitch, Kick and X have been legally required to block young Australians, but the government now believes additional enforcement powers are needed.
