FILE - Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra, Australia, Aug. 16, 2024. Albanese said he wants to get children off social media "to have real experiences with real people because we know that social media is causing social harm."
Australia will ban children from using social media with a minimum age limit as high as 16, the prime minister said Tuesday, vowing to get kids off their devices and "onto the footy fields."
