New Social Media Rule for Under-16s: What You Need to Know
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Starting December tenth, a new rule will prevent anyone under sixteen from having social media accounts on popular platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. This delay aims to make online spaces safer, with platforms like Meta deactivating accounts for young users. The main reason is to protect young people from harmful aspects of social media, encouraging essential skills offline. Platforms not currently restricted include Discord, Pinterest, and WhatsApp, but this could change. Non-compliant platforms face significant penalties.
