AUSTRALIA BANS TEENS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA – 1 Million Accounts to Be Deleted from Dec 10 Australia will enforce a world-first social media ban from December 10, blocking users under 16 from accessing platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. The law could see over one million teenagers lose their accounts, with tech firms facing 49.5 million Australian dollars in fines for noncompliance. Experts warn the new age-verification tools may wrongly lock out 16- and 17-year-olds, as photo-based systems struggle to confirm their ages. Despite early backlash, companies now expect a smooth rollout, using software to verify users’ age through their…

Reeves says ending it reflects Labour’s commitment to tackling child poverty — a key priority for Prime Minister Keir Starmer ahead of the next election. She told BBC Radio 5 Live that “a child should not be penalised because…
