## Resource

Australia is cracking down harder on social media platforms, threatening up to $68 million in fines for companies like Facebook and Instagram if they fail to keep kids under 16 off their apps. The government’s initial ban hasn’t worked as planned, with many teens still active on restricted platforms — prompting new legislation to empower the eSafety Commissioner with stronger enforcement tools. Big Tech is being called out for not taking the rules seriously, and legal action may now be on the table to finally protect young users online.
