Court Hears Social Media Ban Challenge
Australia's highest court is hearing challenges to a social media ban for children, per WRAL.com. The legal proceedings come after the government implemented the controversial measure in response to rising concerns about online safety.
Reddit has blasted the Australian government's 'inept' approach to regulating social media, with NBC News reporting that the platform's criticism coincides with the court case beginning. The ban has drawn significant backlash from tech advocates and privacy groups.
Meanwhile, Australia's central bank raised interest rates to their highest level in 18 years, as Reuters reports. The move signals a continued effort to combat inflation, though economists note it may slow economic growth.
