Social media age ban passes parliament - what are your thoughts?

Australia has passed legislation introducing age restrictions on social media use, aiming to enhance online safety and protect younger users. What are your thoughts on this? How will it effect you or the web dev industry in general?

From my personal non-developer point of view, and a mum of two, I have mixed thoughts on this. There’s definitely content I come across on social media that I don’t want my kids exposed to, but equally it has opened up some interesting discussions in our home and gives them more of a world-view.

It will be interesting to see how the Australian government will enforce this.
