Countdown to Australia's social media ban
Q: Have these processes been mandated or spelled out by the government, or are these processes simply what the platforms are coming up with themselves?
The processes have been articulated by the eSafety Commission but may not cover the full range of risks associated with privacy and security.

Q: Will this ban reduce those harms?
While the ban may restrict access, it does not address the underlying issues of harm related to social media and could lead to adaptation in behavior.
Countdown to Australia's social media ban
