As the Report reports with reference to foreign media, this was stated by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Explaining the need to adopt such a law, that it should minimize the harm that social networks cause to Australian children. If the law is passed, it will be the first such law in the world.

"I want Australian families to know that the government will come to your aid," he said.

The prime minister said that when thinking about the bill, the government consulted not only directly with parents, teachers, and child-rearing specialists, but also with platforms.

Now in Australia, many social platforms allow children over the age of 13 to create an account, but this requirement can be easily circumvented by specifying the appropriate date of birth.
