ACCAN recently submitted to the Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications' inquiry into the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 [Provisions].
ACCAN welcomes the Government's commitment to safeguarding children's online safety. ACCAN advocates for a systems-first approach to improve online safety for all social media users.
ACCAN recommends the Government:
- Amend the Online Safety Act 2021 (Cth) to directly regulate social media services to comply with safety by design measures.
- Prioritise strong privacy measures to protect users from targeted marketing and the exploitation of their data.
