Mr. Speaker, in Australia, there was legislation put in place that essentially banned anyone under the age of 16 from setting up or maintaining a social media account. Within their legislation, they outlined 10 specific social platforms. What ended up happening is that many young people just went to other platforms that were not regulated. Of course, there is an argument to be said that this actually drives young people into the dark web, which is potentially dangerous.
There is another thing that happened in Australia. When the legislation was independently reviewed in terms of its effect or its impact, it was found that, three months after it was implemented, only 30% of youth had complied. In other words, 70% of youth accounts still existed and 70% of young people were still online within these social media platforms. There are questions there with regard to the efficacy of the legislation and whether it can work. I think that is one of the things we will be bringing to committee. What changes would be needed for the legislation to be successful?
