Apple's Tim Cook Praises Australia's Social Media Regulations as 'World-Leading'
Apple Executive Chair Tim Cook praised Australia's social media regulations as "world-leading" during a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at Apple Park, California.

Other governments, including the European Commission and Canada, are considering similar restrictions. Apple highlighted its new tools aimed at enhancing children's online safety amid ongoing global discussions on social media regulation.
