## Resource

Australia’s tightening the screws on kids under sixteen using social media, with the Prime Minister warning that vigilance must stay high. New laws double fines for companies that fail to enforce age limits, while giving the online safety watchdog unprecedented power — including access to internal emails and meeting notes. Personal stories of parents who lost children to online harm, including suicide after extortion, are driving this urgent push. Though the watchdog hasn’t yet taken legal action without solid evidence, the government vows to keep adapting as tech evolves, demanding platforms stop loopholes and algorithms that bypass protections. This is about more than rules — it’s about saving lives, and the pressure on tech companies is mounting. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
