Analysis-Australia's teen social media ban faces a new wildcard: teenagers

SYDNEY (Reuters) -When 13-year-old Jasmine Elkin tried out the age-checking software Australia might use to ban children and teenagers from social media, she was surprised some products could identify a person's age to the month - but she still doubts it will work. Elkin's view echoes one of the main concerns of child protection advocates, tech firms and even the trial organisers about the technology Australia hopes will enable the world's first national social ban for under-16s: the software works, they say, but young people will find a way around it. From December, social companies like Meta's Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok will face a fine of as much as A$49.5 million ($32.17 million) if they fail to take what the law calls "reasonable steps" to block younger users in an effort to protect their mental and physical health.

US resumes visas for foreign students but demands access to social media accounts

The U.S. State Department says it's restarting the suspended process for foreigners applying for student visas but says all applicants will now be required to unlock their social media accounts for review

The U.S. Department of State has introduced a new requirement for student visa applicants, mandating them to submit their social media usernames, previous email addresses, and phone numbers as part of the visa application process. This rule, effective from May 2023, aims to enhance the vetting process for potential security risks by allowing consular officers to review applicants' online activities. The requirement applies to those applying for various types of visas, including student and exchange visitor visas, and is part of broader efforts to tighten security measures in response to national security concerns. Critics argue that this could infringe on privacy rights and potentially deter international students from applying to U.S. institutions.
