The woman tasked with kicking Australian kids off social media
AI Summary
Julie Inman Grant, head of Australia's eSafety Commission, is tasked with implementing the country's new social media ban for individuals under 16, a pioneering effort that began on December 10. The legislation impacts ten platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube. Inman Grant, formerly in the tech industry, now holds these companies accountable for online safety. The policy aims to protect children, but has faced criticism from technology experts, child wellbeing advocates, and the tech companies themselves. Concerns include enforceability, potential exclusion of vulnerable groups, and the belief that education is preferable to bans. Inman Grant has also faced personal attacks and public sparring due to her role.
