Reddit Challenges Australia's Social Media Ban
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Reddit challenges Australias new law banning children under sixteen from social media, arguing it threatens free speech and forces users to share personal information. The company claims its not a social media platform but a discussion forum, despite allowing photos, videos, and direct messages. Australias Health Minister vows to fight the challenge, comparing it to the tobacco industrys resistance to health regulations. The ban has impacted young users like fifteen-year-old influencer Carlee Jade Clements, who was removed from TikTok and saw a significant drop in Instagram engagement, affecting her income and future opportunities.
