This is Handel on the Law, marginal legal advice, where I tell you you have absolutely no case.

Out of Australia, the Prime Minister vowed to ban children under 16 from social media

because of the pervasive influence of platforms like Facebook, and I'm quoting here, like Facebook and TikTok was doing

real harm to kids. Now, all over the world, there's a real discussion as to these platforms

for kids. As a matter of fact, there was a story in the Wall Street Journal about a kid committing

suicide, getting into a conversation with a chat box, and it's just crazy.

There can be some real damage. We all know that. The point is you've got a First Amendment issue.

Well, Australia is going by the way of kids have to be protected, and kids under 16 will simply be banned from using TikTok, Facebook, other Instagram, other media.

And how do they do that? They just can't, well, they say no kid under 16, but I think with AI today,

it's not that hard to figure out that a kid is under 16 because there's so much else out there photos discussions

chats uh postings looking up other people's postings reposting uh that the AI algorithm can figure out

if someone's under 16 and so boom, boom, nope, you're done.

Now, my guess is if the first time that you use one of these platforms, they're not going to know.

Yep, I'm over 16.

But after that, it's pretty easy.

So Australia is going there.

Now, once this bill is passed, because of course

it's going into the legislature, the tech platforms would be given a one-year period to figure

out how to do this. And so the Australian law assumes that it's the tech companies that are going to

make this happen. They're not going to set up the procedures. They don't know. It's the tech companies that are going to make this happen. They're not going to set up the procedures.

They don't know.

It's the tech companies that know.
