Teenagers in Australia who use Instagram, Facebook and Threads are about to start seeing their accounts closed down.

澳洲的年輕朋友如果使用 Instagram、Facebook 和 Threads，他們的帳號很快就會被關閉了。

The tech giant Meta, which owns those platforms, says that that's ahead of a ban which comes into force in Australia in early December.

擁有這些平臺的科技巨頭 Meta 表示，這是為了配合十二月澳洲即將實施的一項禁令。

The country's parliament voted this time last year to ban under 16s from using social media.

去年此時，澳洲國會就投票通過了禁止十六歲以下青少年使用社交媒體的法律。

It's the world's strictest law relating to social media and the way young people use it.

這是全球最嚴格的社交媒體使用法規，特別是針對年輕人如何使用。

Well, our Australia correspondent Katie Watson has more details.

好的，我們的澳洲記者 Katie Watson 會提供更多細節。

On December 10 is what Australia is touting as a world first ban.

十二月十日，澳洲將實施他們所宣稱的全球首例禁令。

Under 16, they're banned from nine platforms Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok X, YouTube, Threads, Reddit and Kick.

十六歲以下青少年將被禁止使用九個平臺，包括 Facebook、Instagram、Snapchat、TikTok、X、YouTube、Threads、Reddit 和 Kick。

But what Matter has done today, now they own Instagram, Facebook and threads.

但 Meta 今天所做的，現在他們擁有 Instagram、Facebook 和 Threads。

They have said that they've begun to email and text under 16, basically warning them that they'll be deactivated from their accounts from the 4th of December.

他們表示已經開始寄送電子郵件和簡訊給十六歲以下的用戶，基本上是警告他們，從十二月四日起，他們的帳號將被停用。

That's what, just under a week before the, the ban is due to come into force and nobody under 16 will be able to open a teen account either.

這是在禁令預計生效前不到一週的時間，而且十六歲以下的任何人也無法開設青少年帳號。

Now Matter has also made the announcement in the.

In the statement made the point once again that although it shares the government's goal of safe age appropriate experiences online, that it doesn't agree with this ban.

在聲明中，他們再次強調，雖然他們贊同政府希望提供安全且適合年齡的線上體驗的目標，但他們不同意這項禁令。

It doesn't think that is the way to do it, removing young people from their communities.

他們認為這樣做並不是正確的方法，將年輕人從他們的社群中移除。

Of course, this is a ban that has ca a lot of discussion here in Australia.

當然，這項禁令在澳洲引起了很多討論。

Well, let's speak now to Sarah Davies from the Alana and Madeleine foundation.

好，我們現在來連線 Alana and Madeleine 基金會的 Sarah Davies。

That's an Australian charity which works to prevent violence against children.

這是一個澳洲的慈善機構，致力於防止對兒童的暴力行為。

Do you think this is going to make a difference?

I must admit, just listening to Katie then, I do feel there's a little bit of irony in some of Meta's comments about how they share the government's desire to make sure children have safe experiences online.

我必須承認，剛才聽完 Katie 的發言，我確實覺得 Meta 在評論中提到他們和政府一樣，都希望確保兒童在線上擁有安全的體驗，這其中有些諷刺。

Because actually, if the platforms like Meta had originally designed products that didn't harm children, we wouldn't actually be in this position.

因為事實上，如果像 Meta 這樣的平臺一開始就設計出不會傷害兒童的產品，我們就不會落到現在這個地步。

所以，你看，這會有些許改變。

I think the way to think about it is less about.

我認為思考的角度應該是，與其說。

It's not about keeping children away from social media and tech, it's more about keeping big tech and social media away from children.

這不是要把年輕人隔離於社交媒體和科技之外，而是要把大型科技公司和社交媒體隔離於年輕人之外。

How easy will it be to enforce something like this?

其實，從技術層面來看，相當容易。

The CEO of TikTok in Australia is on record as saying a couple of years ago, it takes them three seconds to identify a user's age online.

TikTok 在澳洲的 CEO 曾公開表示，幾年前，他們只需要三秒鐘就能辨識出用戶在線上的年齡。

So like the technology is there to do it.

There are questions around how you do it, though, because if you use, say, visual and video age verification, there are questions then around more perhaps privacy violations about biodata and visual data.

不過，要怎麼執行會有一些問題，因為如果使用視覺和影片的年齡驗證，就會產生關於生物數據和視覺數據的隱私侵犯問題。

If you use things like formal ID cards, again, there are questions then around data security.

如果使用像是身分證這樣的正式證件，又會產生數據安全的問題。

The question I think in our minds is going to be how much will platforms enforce this and how ingenious will young people be about getting around it?

我想我們心裡最大的疑問是，平臺會多大程度地執行這項規定，以及年輕人會多有創意地想辦法規避它？

And how can parents support children and young people to be as safe and strong as possible online?

家長又該如何支持孩子和年輕人，讓他們在網路上盡可能安全、強大？

And Sarah, just tell us a bit more about the work you do and set that into context with how much of a problem you see social media in the way that children use it.

Sarah，請稍微多說一點妳的工作，並說明在妳眼中，孩子們使用社交媒體的狀況有多大的問題。

I think we're all worried generally, aren't we, about younger people using these platforms.

我想我們大家普遍都會擔心，不是嗎？關於年輕人使用這些平臺的狀況。

But I wanted to draw on your experience and work that you've done.

不過，我想要借重妳的經驗和妳所做的工作。

So, look, I'd like us to talk a bit more broadly about social media.

所以，我想我們來更廣泛地聊聊社交媒體。

One of our great frustrations is all the conversation so far has been about social media media.

我們一個很大的挫折是，到目前為止所有的討論都圍繞著社交媒體。

But actually we should be having these same conversations about all tech.

但實際上，我們應該對所有科技進行同樣的討論。

So chat, apps, games, edtech, med tech, wearables, and in particular AI and agentive AI.

像是哈拉軟體、應用程式、遊戲、教育科技、醫療科技、穿戴裝置，特別是 AI 和生成式 AI。

This is a digital platform and tech issue about children and young people online.

這是一個關於孩子們和年輕人在網路上使用數位平臺和科技的問題。

And we think broadly about kind of five categories of risk for children and young people.

我們大致會從五個類別來思考孩子和年輕人面臨的風險。

There's a category of content, so harmful content, inappropriate content.

其中一個類別是內容，像是令人不適的內容、不適當的內容。

And we all know the explosion in young children and people accessing.

而且我們都知道，越來越多年幼的孩子和年輕人正在接觸這些。

We think, Sorry, we think about contact, so predatory contact, unknown people.

我們想到接觸，像是掠奪式的接觸，陌生人。

So when people are nudged into behavior that's not good for them or other people, we think about compulsion, which is this sort of scrolling and dopamine hits.

所以當人們被引導做出對自己或他人不利的行為時，我們會想到強迫，像是這種滑動和多巴胺的刺激。

Okay, Sarah Davies, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on what's a very important change in the law in Australia.

好的，Sarah Davies，非常感謝您分享您對澳洲一項非常重要的法律變更的看法。
