New legislation would restrict social media access for children under 16 and require platforms to assess and reduce online risks.
The New Zealand government has launched laws that are intended to stop children below the age of 16 from using social media platforms as more countries have started taking steps to control the use of social media by their children. The laws were launched on Monday and are meant to keep young teenagers from using social media sites like Instagram and TikTok.
Platforms Could Face Penalties
Under the regulations, social media sites will have to evaluate any risks that their products pose to minors and detail any steps that will help mitigate such risks.Failing to adhere to the regulations will result in punishment, and therefore companies have no choice but to take the safety of children online more seriously.
Global Push for Stricter Rules
New Zealand has taken action following a trend elsewhere around the world. Australia was the first nation to legislate against children on social media networks, with their legislation coming into force in December. Other nations such as the United Kingdom, France, and others have also been looking into legislation that will limit children's access to social media platforms. The debate has reached fever pitch all around the globe due to the worries about the mental wellbeing of children, safety, inappropriate content, and too much screen time.
Government Seeks Greater Protection for Children
The recent plans of New Zealand to restrict access are part of an international initiative to develop more secure measures that would provide better protection to youths on the internet. Should the new law be passed, it will put more responsibility on social media providers and at the same time limit access for users under the age of 16 years old. The new plan will give rise to further discussions concerning the process of verification and enforcing restrictions without violating user’s privacy.
