The European Commission is looking into introducing age restrictions for social media use.
This follows Australia's example, where teenagers under 16 are set to be banned from social media - with these new rules set to take effect later in the year.
Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says the EU will be observing the impact of Australia's ban to influence their own changes.

International Correspondence with NS and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind
for New Zealand Business. Oliver Peterson, sixt PR Perth Life presenter,
Hey Oli, get ahead, OLLI. So Europe is going to
ban the social media for the kids as well.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, well they're going to look at what we're doing
here in Australia. Obviously this comes into effects later this year.
The Commission President has told the lawmakers that she will
check Australia's policy when considering what next steps can be
taken in Europe. So teenagers under the age of sixteen
obviously will not be able to use social media platforms
like Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and x and even YouTube.
(00:37):
But how we are still to validate somebody's age, It
has yet to be decided in this country, Heather, And
it does look like the most it's all pointing towards
an outcome where we will have some sort of national
digital identity card, which has a lot of privacy advocates
very worried because they say a lot of the technology
that exists at the moment that might look at your
(00:59):
facial beaches, for example, and indicator this person's fourteen, but
they might be seventeen. They're not quite there yet with
the biometric technology. So the national identity card is probably
the most likely requirement that we'll have here in Australia.
And that's going to open up a whole new can
of worms.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And what does that can of worms?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well, people are saying, why do we need to give
that extra information to our governments? But let's be blunt.
I mean, we sign up to these social media platforms,
we sign up to a bank, we sign up obviously
to insurance companies. In the light they've gone all of
this data on us as it is. And I know
there's one argument that will say, if you have a
national identity card, then also why do all these companies
that we do business with, beyond social media platforms, how
(01:37):
they need to hold on to any of that data
that the hackers obviously love. So once they know that
Heather Doopla c Allen is who she sees she is,
or Oliver Peterson is who he says he is, they
can delete that. Others are saying, once you have that right,
you're actually providing more impetus for the hackers to get
their hands on your identity. So I think this one
just goes around around in circles to be honest.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah too right, I suppose so, so just Center Pricings
blown up, hasn't.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It big time? It is massive. Now she's been dumped
from the shadow cabinet. Susan Lee has indicated that she
hasn't apologized yet, and of course people remember just Er
Price was front and center of the no campaign for
the Voice. But she is here in Perth today, she
was here yesterday and tonight she's due at an Indian
Society of WA's Indian Community event in Willitson, which is
(02:23):
a suburb here in Perth. And it's been described as
being quite distasteful because of course she's been sacked for
her comments about Indian migrants coming into Australia and voting
for the Labor Party. So this is all to be blunt,
a big, big distraction for the Liberal Party and the
Newish Liberal leader, Susan Lee. I think this decision to
dump just Enter Price will ultimately cost Susan Lee her
(02:45):
own job. And while they have spent the past week
or so fighting each other publicly, the government's just licking
its leaps. Albow's got a whole heap of problems obviously
gone van a Wado to sign up to a national
security agreement and he was embarrassed and left red faced
in the Pacific Islands and they're just talking about each
other and trying to bring each other down. It's just hopeless.
How O position party cannot get itself together.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Hey, Now, I was just going through a bunch of
texts the other day. This is this is not just
some random thing.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
At the point here we go.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And I was going through a bunch of texts the
other day and it's between myself and somebody who was
Australian who lives in New Zealand, and they said something
along the lines of just Into Price should be Australia's
next prime minister. Now, I just happened to find this
while we're in the middle of this fight with just
Into Price. Is that still the vibe?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Like?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Is she still popular enough for people to think.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That from the conservative side of the fence. Absolutely, Like
any time that we interview Just Need a Price on
my program, for example, and she comes on regularly, Heather,
the feedback channels go absolutely bananas because she's not afraid
to say what a lot of people are thinking. She's
obviously an indigenous woman, and she is very much Team Australia.
(03:55):
I mean she was the one in the Parliament last
week with the Australian flag and she's doing her best
to try and unite the country. But she's also looked
at as a very divisive figure, particularly amongst those in
her own party who are from the progressive side of politics,
and of course the Labour Party can see her basically
as enemy number one. She is probably she's in the
wrong house though she's in the upper House, she's in
(04:16):
the Senate, but she is probably at the moment the
Liberals the Conservative's best chance for relevancy. Nobody knows who
Susan Lee is. Everybody knows who just enterprises.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Good stuff, Ollie, good to talk to you mate. That's
Oliver Peterson, six PR Perth Live presenter. For more from
