(Lukas Coch/AAP Image via AP) MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The Australian Senate on Thursday began considering a ban on children younger than 16 years old from social media after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly supported the age restriction. The world-first bill that would make platforms including TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram liable for fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) for systemic failures to prevent young children from holding accounts is likely to be passed by the Senate on Thursday, the Parliament’s final session for the year and potentially the last before elections, which are due within months. The major parties’ support for the ban all but guarantees the legislation will become law. But many child welfare and mental health advocates are concerned about unintended consequences. Unaligned Sen. Jacqui Lambie complained about the limited amount of time the government gave the Senate to debate the age restriction, which she described as “undercooked.” “I thought this was a good idea. A lot of people out there thought it was a good idea until we looked at the detail and, let's be honest, there's no detail,” Lambie told the Senate. The House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly carried the bill 102 votes to 13. Once the legislation becomes law, the platforms would have one year to work out how they could implement the ban before penalties are enforced. The platforms complained that the law would be unworkable, and urged the Senate to delay the vote until at least June next year when a government-commissioned evaluation of age assurance technologies made its report on how young children could be excluded. Critics argue the government is attempting to convince parents it is protecting their children ahead of general elections due by May. The government hopes that voters will reward it for responding to parents' concerns about their children's addiction to social media. Some argue the legislation could cause more harm than it prevents. Criticisms include that the legislation was rushed through Parliament without adequate scrutiny, is ineffective, poses privacy risks for all users, and undermines parental authority to make decisions for their children. Opponents of the bill also argue the ban would isolate children, deprive them of the positive aspects of social media, drive them to the dark web, discourage children too young for social media to report harm and reduce incentives for platforms to improve online safety.

A man, desperate to improve his self-discipline, paid a sum of 20,000 yuan (approximately $3,000) to participate in a self-discipline challenge, only to fail three times consecutively.

Mr. Trump argued, without any evidence, that the justice system is already politicized because of all the criminal charges brought against him, and his conviction on 34 felony counts. In fact, the Justice Department indicted at least seven Democrats, including President Biden’s son. If the Justice Department were politicized, as Mr. Trump claims, none of these prosecutions would have occurred. In fact, the Justice Department went after these people, including Mr. Trump, because it had evidence of criminal activity sufficient to present in a court of law. Going after political enemies without evidence, only because they are perceived as opponents, would politicize the Department of Justice. Doing so would undermine the rule of law and our constitutional democracy. Mr. Trump nominated Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, despite the fact that Gaetz’s only qualification is his loyalty to Donald Trump. It is Mr. Trump’s intention to politicize and weaponize the Department of Justice, thus undermining the rule of law and our constitutional democracy. (Editor's note: Matt Gaetz withdrew from the process on Thursday). Mr. Trump’s other nominees, Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence and Robert Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services also have no experience and no expertise of those departments. Replacing knowledgeable experts with complete novices and worse, political sycophants, undermines the effectiveness of those agencies and puts the national security in jeopardy as well as the health and welfare of the nation. In fact, this is a recipe for failure. But that was a campaign promise of Mr. Trump, to destroy the deep state. Even though that “deep state” was developed to keep Americans safe, healthy and prosperous. Undermining the rule of law, our constitutional democracy, the security of the nation and the health and welfare of the United States is the goal of Mr. Trump’s administration.
