Big tech companies push back against Labor's proposed social media age restrictions

The federal government's crackdown on social media age restrictions is facing delays as big tech companies fight the plan. The Department of Communications will hold a briefing on Wednesday to lock in a trial for Labor's plan. Delays have been exacerbated due to conflict within the Labor Party over the optimal minimum age at which the ban should be enforced. Should they win the election, the Coalition has vowed to solve the age restriction debacle in its first 100 days.
