U.S. billionaire Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, has criticised Australia's proposed law to ban social media for children under 16 and fine social media platforms of up to A$49.5 million ($32 million) for companies for systemic breaches.

Australia officially introduces a bill that would ban social media for minors under 16. The bill requires social media firms to take ‘reasonable steps’ to comply with the ban.
