Social media giants are getting a wake-up call: the eSafety Commissioner needs stronger powers to enforce existing rules—especially the under-16s ban—to make platforms actually play by the book. The Senate committee backs this, pushing for steeper fines to turn compliance into a real cost, not just a business line item. While some question whether the age ban is the right fix, the consensus is clear—this is one tool in a broader safety strategy, with other regulators already wielding similar authority. The ultimate aim? A safer digital world for kids, powered by accountability and enforcement—not new laws.
