Google warns Australian law on social media ‘difficult’ to enforce, Reuters say

Google has warned it will be “extremely difficult” for Australia to enforce a law prohibiting anyone younger than 16 from using social media, Renju Jose of Reuters reports. Australia is set to become the first country to block the use of social media for those under 16 years of age in December. Platforms will not be required to conduct age verification procedures, instead they will be asked to use AI and behavioral data to infer one’s age.
