YouTube Bans Under-16s: Australia's New Social Media Law
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
YouTube and other social media platforms must comply with Australias new law, banning users under sixteen from accessing their services. The world-first ban, effective December tenth, aims to protect children from cyberbullying, harmful content, and online predators. Tech companies face fines for non-compliance, and the list of banned platforms may expand. Critics argue the regulation may not effectively safeguard young users.
