Apps designed for children under 13 often ask them to accept cookies. There are concerns this could expose them to tracking. We ask the government to ban non-essential cookies in apps designed for children age 13 and under and require parental consent for all data collection.

Ban social media for under-16s to protect children
Ban social media access for under-16s. We think this could protect their mental health and childhood. Evidence shows it can cause harm, exposing children to bullying, addiction and inappropriate content. Follow Australia’s lead to prioritise their well-being. Social media can wait—childhood cannot.
Government ban on social media to be for under 13s only
Any government ban on social media that is introduced should be for under 13s only. We want people 13+ to be able to use social media. Not just 16+, as we believe 13 is reasonable as you are officially a teen and responsible for yourself.
Protect Online Privacy – Ban Charging Users to Reject Tracking Cookies
Make it illegal for websites to charge users for rejecting tracking cookies. Businesses should not exploit consent by forcing users to choose between paying or having their data tracked.
Review laws preventing under 18s from access to online sexual content
We ask the Government to review laws that prevent under 18s from accessing sexual content online. We want the review to look into focusing instead on improving and implementing mandatory sex and relationships education for all students.
Do not ban social media for under 16s
I think the government shouldn’t ban social media for under 16s. This is because for many young people social media is how they communicate with their friends. Some people view social media as a lifeline. A community, a supportive network. This is why I think the government shouldn’t ban it.
