SYDNEY, Dec 10 — Australia has started “taking back control” from powerful tech giants with landmark laws banning under-16s from social media, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Wednesday.
“This is world-leading. This is Australia showing enough is enough. It is about our families taking back control,” Albanese said in a speech as the world-first laws came into effect. — AFP
