CBN: FBI Warns '764 Gang' Terrorizing Kids Online, Australia Bans Younger Teens from Social Media
A new Australian law went into effect on Wednesday, banning everyone under 16 years old from social media.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese welcomed the groundbreaking social media ban for children as families try to take back power from tech giants. Platforms like Facebook and TikTok face hefty fines if they fail to comply.
The move comes as safety concerns are mounting every day, with the FBI warning of a criminal group that targets and extorts children online to make them commit sexual or violent acts.
The FBI calls the group "764" and labels it a terrorist organization.
Donna Rice Hughes, President and CEO of "Enough is Enough," told CBN, "They are actually preying on kids, really around the ages of 10 to 17, again, on social media platforms and gaming platforms like Roblox and Discord. Why? Because where kids play, predators prey... But whether it's 764 or anyone else, predators are out there looking for your kids and grooming them."
