Description

Australian government implements new age restrictions on social media platforms, targeting children under sixteen. Tech companies like Meta, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and TikTok must comply by the deadline, with potential fines for non-compliance. Age verification systems will gradually filter out existing underage accounts and prevent new ones. The eSafety Commissioner will monitor compliance and potentially expand the list of covered platforms.
