The Associated PressTesla chief and tech billionaire Elon Musk has taken a savage swipe at the Albanese government over its new social media age limit bill. The legislation, introduced on Thursday, seeks to block children under 16 from accessing social media platforms including Musk-owned X, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat. Social media giants could face penalties up to $49.5 million if they breach the laws, which aim to better protect the wellbeing of young Australians online. Musk delivered his blunt assessment of the legislation on Thursday as he reshared a post on X by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. "Seems like a backdoor way to control access to the internet by all Australians," the billionaire responded to the post, which has since amassed more than 17 million views. Musk has also been outspoken in his criticism of Labor's online misinformation and disinformation bill in recent months, previously labelling the Albanese government as "fascists". Under the bill, introduced in September, social media companies could be fined up to five per cent of their global revenue if they fail to adequately crack down on misinformation and disinformation on their platforms. Asked about Musk's remarks on Friday, independent MP Zali Steggall claimed the X owner was "looking after his own interests". "I’m not a fan of Elon Musk so in some ways I would say he’s looking after his own interests," Ms Steggall told Sky News Australia host Kenny Heatley. "He’s obviously a multibillionaire trying to preserve his business that I think at the moment is going downhill with a lot of people leaving X for platforms like Bluesky." Under the proposed age limit measures, it will be illegal for children under 16 to access social media platforms unless they meet specific age verification criteria. However, social media platforms will cop any penalties should underage users bypass the restrictions. Ms Steggall said she was concerned the new legislation was a "band aid approach" from the government, claiming the social media ban could have negative impacts for children. "It’s a knee-jerk reaction to very traumatic incidents but many experts an organisations say it will not fix the problem," the independent MP said. "What I would like to see the government be focusing is actually more on legislation that introduces a duty of care and puts responsibility on platforms. "My concern about the ban is it will also have negative impacts on young people who do find their tribe online and access resources that are useful to them. "So we need to find a balance between making sure we protect them from the damaging content and look at the algorithms." Children under the age of 16 are still able to use YouTube, WhatsApp, Messenger Kids, Google Classroom and Kids Helpline under the new bill. Introducing the social media age limit bill on Thursday, Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said the government was committed to keeping young Australians safe online. "Social media has a social responsibility. We know they can and should do better to address harms on their platforms," Ms Rowland in parliament. "The online safety amendment social media minimum age bill 2024 will amend the online safety act 2021 by introducing a minimum age of 16. "The bill puts the onus on social media platforms, not parents or young people, to take reasonable steps to ensure fundamental protections are in place. "This is about protecting young people, not punishing or isolating them."
