 Club Tigres reinforces its commitment to the community by launching the official Fundación Tigres Instagram account: @fundaciontigresac. 

This space will share content on the Club’s social impact areas: education, life quality, equity and inclusion, and the environment. All of Tigres’ social programs and its inclusive teams, Tigres Union and Tigres Power Chair, will also have their space. Although the club’s official website already has a section dedicated to Fundación Tigres, this new profile will provide closer and more dynamic communication with the community.

Mauricio Culebro, President of Club Tigres, mentioned: “At Tigres, we believe that soccer is more than a sport, it is a platform to transform lives and communities. By launching @fundaciontigresac, we seek to reinforce the link with society and show more clearly the positive impact we are generating”.

Carlos Valenzuela, Vice President of Operations and Business, commented: “The creation of @fundaciontigresac represents an opportunity to show the true impact of our projects and attract new strategic partners who share our vision of social responsibility.

To finalize, Marisol Rodríguez, Manager of Social Impact and Fundación Tigres, added: “This profile will be a reflection of Tigres that values our commitment to the community. More than just an informative channel, we see it as a tool to share inspiring stories that demonstrate how working together, we can generate real change.”

With this initiative, the club reaffirms its social commitment, following the best practices of the most important clubs worldwide. Few teams have a platform dedicated exclusively to social responsibility, underscoring Tigres’ leadership in this area and its firm commitment to the welfare of the community.

Australia Passes Legislation to Prohibit Social Media Use for Children Under 16

 As of October 2023, Australia had passed legislation aimed at enhancing online safety for children, which includes significant measures to restrict social media access. The law prohibits children under the age of 16 from using popular social media platforms unless they have parental consent. This legislation is part of broader efforts to protect minors from online harm, including exposure to harmful content and cyberbullying.

Key provisions of the law typically involve:

1. **Age Verification**: Platforms are required to implement measures to verify the age of their users.

2. **Parental Consent**: Children under 16 must obtain permission from parents or guardians to access social media.

3. **Reporting Obligations**: Social media companies may be required to report instances of harmful content or behavior.

The aim of the legislation is to create a safer online environment for young users and ensure that parents have a greater role in managing their children's online activities. This move has sparked discussions about privacy, the effectiveness of age verification technologies, and the balance between safety and freedom of expression for young people.

For the latest updates, it's advisable to consult news outlets or the Australian government's announcements, as regulations and their implementations can evolve.
