Australia’s world-first social media ban has passed the parliament, but it will do little to protect Australian children, writes Melissa Marsden . The Albanese Government's new social media laws masquerade as making the internet safer for children despite statistics showing the outside world has a reputation for being more dangerous. Whilst in most states in Australia the minimum age of criminal responsibility is 10 years old — yet there is a distinct lack of anti-bullying legislation. On an average night in the June quarter of 2023, 812 young Australians aged 10 and over were in detention because of their involvement – or alleged involvement – in criminal activity. There are no details as to whether these convictions resulted from online or offline crimes. However, the sudden push by the government to ram new social media laws into effect suggests it is not the children who perpetrate crimes that are under scrutiny. Statistics show that young people are most likely to be in detention if they are male, aged between 14 and 17, and are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (First Nations) descent. Whilst it is questionable as to whether these crimes were committed online or offline, the rate of youth detention for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 10-17 years was higher than the rate for other Australian young people in all Australian states and territories. Alternatives to a social media age ban The Government's proposed age limit for social media use is an excessive measure and not the only solution to regulating online usage. In September, twelve-year-old Sydney girl Charlotte ended her life after experiencing rampant bullying despite her parents raising the issue with her school. In a statement, the girl's family said: “When the most recent case of bullying was raised, the school simply said that they had investigated, and the girls denied it.” Were tougher anti-bullying laws legislated rather than removing access to online communities that children often use as an escape from bullying, could instances like these have been avoided? According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare ( AIHW ), in 2023 , 298 Australian young people (aged 18–24 years) took their own lives. Ninety-four of those deaths by suicide occurred among children and adolescents – aged 17 and below– with the majority occurring in those aged 15–17 (71.3%). In the years before social media, bullying was often physical and verbal. According to Edith Cowan University : “In decades past, bullying was mainly associated with schools and playgrounds — a problem that ended when children returned to the safety of their homes." Draconian social media ban doomed to fail The proposed legislation to restrict the age limit for social media use is destined to fail and may harbour another insidious purpose. In 1999, Bullying in Australian schools was rampant, with over 20% of males and 15% of females aged 8 to 18 years reporting being bullied at least once a week. In 2022, Melbourne-based freelance journalist, Mel Buttigieg , wrote that in the 1990s, kids’ physical bullying – whilst not always direct – was constantly perpetuated in full view of teachers and students. As a child who grew up in the early 2000s – having been born in 1996 – I too can confirm that this lack of response to bullying was widespread. Around the same time I joined social media, I experienced severe bullying at my private primary school. I was chased from one end of the school to the other, blockaded in between the lockers and the library toilets by my bullies, pushed on the school bus, and taunted daily. My ability to block my bullies from social media provided a welcome reprieve from the daily taunts and abuse. At this point, I had already been isolated from my friends after having a traumatic brain injury and acquiring a disability — which meant my school thought segregating me from my peers was the best solution. While in-person bullying is still an issue in many schools, cyberbullying has taken over as the major concern for the health and wellbeing of school-age children”. In a study published in Nature Communications , UK data shows girls experience a negative link between social media use and life satisfaction when they are 11-13 years old and boys when they are 14-15 years old. And, whilst the concerns surrounding these statistics are warranted, the blanket approach to the Australian legislation fails to account for vulnerable groups who have benefited from the escape that social media brings. Government bans social media fearing rise of 'Generation Left' The recent announcement of age restrictions for social media use raises questions regarding the Government's true motives. A reporter for Channel 6 News , Maggie Perry said, “The government’s plan to prevent under 16s using social media will not protect them – instead, it will cut off many vulnerable and isolated children from vital online support communities”. These voices have been conveniently left out of the political discourse on Australia’s world-first social media bans, they have been the voices most marginalised from mainstream public and political debate for decades. The laws do not come into effect until next year, begging the questions: if they are really about saving the lives of children, why wait? And, why exclude those the legislation proposes to protect from the conversation? Melissa Marsden is a freelance journalist and PhD candidate at Curtin University.

(AP) — That buzzing coming out of New Jersey? It’s unclear if it’s drones or something else, but for sure the nighttime sightings are producing tons of talk, a raft of conspiracy theories and craned necks looking skyward. Cropping up on local news and social media sites around Thanksgiving, reported over New Jersey has reached incredible heights. This week seems to have begun a new, higher-profile chapter: (but so far not getting) explanations from federal and state authorities about what’s behind them. Gov. Phil Murphy asking for answers. New Jersey’s new senator, Andy Kim, spent Thursday night on a drone hunt in rural northern New Jersey, and posted about it on X. But perhaps the most fantastic development is the dizzying proliferation of conspiracies — none of which has been confirmed or suggested by federal and state officials who say they’re looking into what’s happening. It has become shorthand to refer to the flying machines as drones, but there are questions about whether what people are seeing are unmanned aircraft or something else. Some theorize the drones came from an Iranian mothership. Others think they are the Secret Service making sure President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster property is secure. Others worry about China. The deep state. And on. In the face of uncertainty, people have done what they do in 2024: Create a social media group. The Facebook page, , has nearly 44,000 members, up from 39,000 late Thursday. People are posting their photo and video sightings, and the online commenters take it from there. One video shows a whitish light flying in a darkened sky, and one commenter concludes it’s otherworldly. “Straight up orbs,” the person says. Others weigh in to say it’s a plane or maybe a satellite. Another group called for hunting the drones literally, shooting them down like turkeys. (Do not shoot at anything in the sky, experts warn.) Trisha Bushey, 48, of Lebanon Township, New Jersey, lives near Round Valley Reservoir where there have been numerous sightings. She said she first posted photos online last month wondering what the objects were and became convinced they were drones when she saw how they moved and when her son showed her on a flight tracking site that no planes were around. Now she’s glued to the Mystery Drones page, she said. “I find myself — instead of Christmas shopping or cleaning my house — checking it,” she said. She doesn’t buy what the governor said, that Murphy told Biden on Friday that residents need answers. The federal Homeland Security Department and FBI also said in a joint statement they have no evidence that the sightings pose “a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.” “How can you say it’s not posing a threat if you don’t know what it is?” she said. “I think that’s why so many people are uneasy.” Then there’s the notion that people could misunderstand what they’re seeing. William Austin is the president of Warren County Community College, which has a drone technology degree program, and is coincidentally located in one of the sighting hotspots. Austin says he has looked at videos of purported drones and that airplanes are being misidentified as drones. He cited an optical effect called parallax, which is the apparent shift of an object when viewed from different perspectives. Austin encouraged people to download flight and drone tracker apps so they can better understand what they’re looking at. Nonetheless, people continue to come up with their own theories. “It represents the United States of America in 2024,” Austin said. “We’ve lost trust in our institutions, and we need it.” Federal officials echo Austin’s view that many of the sightings are piloted aircraft such as planes and helicopters being mistaken for drones, according to lawmakers and Murphy. That’s not really convincing for many, though, who are homing in on the sightings beyond just New Jersey and the East Coast, where others have reported seeing the objects. For Seph Divine, 34, another member of the drone hunting group who lives in Eugene, Oregon, it feels as if it’s up to citizen sleuths to solve the mystery. He said he tries to be a voice of reason, encouraging people to fact check their information, while also asking probing questions. “My main goal is I don’t want people to be caught up in the hysteria and I also want people to not just ignore it at the same time,” he said. “Whether or not it’s foreign military or some secret access program or something otherworldly, whatever it is, all I’m saying is it’s alarming that this is happening so suddenly and so consistently for hours at a time,” he added.
