 Australia bans social media for under-16s in world-first move  Australia has implemented a sweeping ban on social media use for children under 16, marking a world-first move aimed at curbing teenage addiction to platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Under the new rules, social media companies and popular websites face fines of up to AU$49.5 million ($33 million) if they allow underage users to maintain accounts. The government says the measures are necessary to shield children from harmful content, including bullying, sexual material, and online predators. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasized that social media “is often used as a weapon for bullies, a platform for peer pressure, a driver of anxiety, and a tool for online predators.” The law, effective Wednesday, immediately blocks hundreds of thousands of teenagers from accessing the apps they used daily. Platforms affected include Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, Twitch, Kick, Thread...

 Somalia establishes its first-ever national human rights commission


Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on Wednesday signed into law the establishment of the country's first ever National Human Rights Commission, TRT Afrika reported.


The presidential assent marks the final step in a long reform process that has involved extensive legislative and governmental approval.


The commission, aimed at advancing justice, accountability, and legal transparency, was endorsed by both Houses of the Federal Parliament and approved by the cabinet.


The process reached a milestone on July 3, 2025, when Somalia nominated the commission’s first officials. Minister of Family Affairs and Human Rights, Khadija Makhzoumi, hailed that moment as “a historic breakthrough 65 years after Somalia’s statehood,” saying the country was finally joining the ranks of nations with dedicated, independent national human rights bodies.


President hails milestone


President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud called the commission “a reflection of Somalia’s firm commitment to safeguarding the rights and dignity of its citizens.”


The establishment of the commission comes during a broader reform to shift human rights oversight from international mechanisms to national institutions.


In September, the cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre, unanimously endorsed ending the mandate of the UN Independent Expert on the Human Rights Situation in Somalia, as part of the government’s Human Rights Transition Plan.


The UN mandate is set to conclude at the end of October 2025.


Push for commission establishment


Parallel developments occurred at the UN Human Rights Council’s 60th session held on October 8, 2025, when the council ended the mandate of the Independent Expert on Somalia.


Civil society groups have long pushed for a national authority capable of documenting violations, supporting victims, and guiding human-rights-based governance.
