AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoSocial Media Law Shock (France): France’s Constitutional Council has struck down Macron’s proposed under-15 social media ban, saying it breaches freedom of expression and fails to set proper privacy safeguards—forcing a rewrite. Local Tech & Youth Policy (Australia): The French move lands as Australia’s own under-16 social media restrictions face scrutiny, with Meta also reporting it has removed about 756,000 suspected teen accounts ahead of enforcement. Platform Liability (US): A US appeals court cleared the way for thousands of social media addiction lawsuits against Meta and TikTok to proceed, rejecting arguments that Section 230 blocks suits. Government Pressure on Universities (Australia): Labor is tightening war-related controls over universities, ordering closures of certain China-linked programs at ANU and UQ and pushing new powers for ASIO to investigate without notice. MarCom/Media Industry: Meta’s enforcement and the legal fights are likely to keep dominating youth-safety and platform policy debates, with major knock-ons for how brands and publishers reach younger audiences.
