New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has announced plans to introduce a bill to ban social media for children under 16. The bill would require social media platforms to take reasonable steps to verify users' ages. Luxon stated that social media can expose children to harmful content, addictive technology, and pressures they cannot handle.
The proposed bill would involve social media platforms using existing account information, facial recognition technology, and digital identity documents to verify ages. However, it is uncertain whether the bill will pass through parliament. The New Zealand First Party has announced that it will not support the bill.
