"For anyone who has been online in Australia longer than a decade or so, the
discussion around current proposals to set a minimum age for social media use
might trigger a touch of déjà vu.
Between 2007 and 2012, the Rudd–Gillard government’s efforts to implement a
“Clean Feed” internet filter sparked very similar debates.
Beset by technical problems and facing fierce opposition, the Clean Feed was
eventually abandoned in favour of laws that already existed. Will the proposed
social media ban face a similar fate?"
