New Zealand plans under-16 social-media bill with revenue-based penalties
New Zealand plans legislation to ban under-16s from social media, according to the Bloomberg summary. The proposed bill would require platforms deemed "high risk" to check users' ages. Platforms that do not comply could face penalties of up to 10% of global revenue. The proposal would place age-assurance obligations on affected social-media services as New Zealand seeks to limit online harm to children.
