  • Australia promises age limit for social media

    Australia will ban young children from using social media, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised, adding that national legislation will be introduced this year.

    The minimum age for children to be allowed to use services such as Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok has not been decided yet. The Prime Minister’s own preference would be 16 years, he says.

    – I want to see children get away from their screens and instead get out on football pitches, tennis courts and in swimming pools, he says to the TV channel ABC and adds:

    – We want them to have real experiences with real people because we know that social media causes harm.

    This is reported by TT.

    UN Secretary-General António Guterres is calling for an end to the situation in Gaza, which he describes as the worst death and destruction he has seen in his more than seven years in office.

    At the same time, he says that it is “unrealistic” to think that the UN could play a role in the strip’s future, either by managing the area or by having a peacekeeping force there, because Israel would probably not accept a UN role.

    Guterres says the UN has offered to monitor a possible ceasefire and that “the UN will be available to support any ceasefire”.
