Apple's Tim Cook sees Australia's social media curbs as 'world-leading', PM says
Albanese sought Apple’s backing for child online safety laws as Australia prepares new rules for social media platforms and AI.
- On Sunday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met Apple Executive Chair Tim Cook at Apple Park in California to discuss Australia's child online safety laws and AI regulation.
- Australia implemented world-first legislation in December 2025 banning social media for children under 16, prompting the European Commission to propose similar protections for children under 13.
- Following the meeting, Albanese stated Australia "can't do it alone" regarding internet dangers, while new draft laws propose a "duty of care" for platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.
- Cook, who recently stepped down as Apple CEO after 15 years, shared "some of our newest innovations, including strong and intuitive controls to help keep kids safe online" with Albanese.
- Albanese also used his United States trip to advocate for greater AI regulation, with Australia planning to introduce new standards by the end of 2026 to ensure technology remains under human control.
