SUMMARY:The Legality of Australia´s Under -16 Social Media Ban - Does it I
 mpermissibly Limit Political Communication?
DESCRIPTION:Kontakt: Vladislava.stoyanova@jur.lu.se\n\nAustralia's under-16
  social media ban limits political communication by restricting young Aust
 ralians' ability to participate in online political discourse. The legisla
 tion introducing the ban is currently being challenged in the High Court o
 f Australia on several bases\, including that it breaches the ‘implied f
 reedom of political communication’ in the Australian Constitution. In th
 is seminar\, Maria O’Sullivan – a visiting public law and human rights
  scholar from Australia - will examine the reasons for introducing the ban
  and whether it is likely to be constitutionally valid. Specifically\, whe
 ther the Australian government will be able to demonstrate that the restri
 ction serves the legitimate purpose of protecting children's welfare and i
 s proportionate under the implied freedom of political communication doctr
