A bill banning the use of social media by people under the age of 16 has been passed in Australia and is expected to become law soon. The aim is said to be to prevent bullying, crime, and the viewing of harmful posts via social media. This is a new law unlike any other in the world, but the question is whether it will actually work. Preventing viewing by people under the age of 16 is meaningful to some extent, but the real problem is that there are people who post on social media that encourage bullying and crime. Most of these unscrupulous posters are adults over the age of 16. As long as they are left unchecked, the problem will not be solved. (Kei)
