Description

Meta begins locking out under-16 users from Instagram and Facebook in Australia, part of a new social media ban. Users receive notifications, can save posts, and will regain access at 16. Some over-16 users may be mistakenly caught, allowing them to challenge the decision with age verification. Meta Australia managing director emphasizes commitment to online safety, despite challenges of blanket bans.
