Australia Just Banned Under-16s From Social Media: Here’s What It Really Means

Australia has become the first country in the world to ban children under 16 from using most major social media platforms. From December 10, 2025, platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, X, Facebook, Reddit, Twitch, and Threads are required by law to prevent under-16s in Australia from having accounts. The move is being praised as a bold step to protect children’s mental health — and criticised as rushed, intrusive, and nearly impossible to enforce. So what exactly changed under Australia’s new Online Safety Amendment, also known as the Social Media Minimum Age Act? Who is responsible for enforcement? How much can platforms be fined? And what does this mean for kids, parents, and tech companies worldwide? Here’s what you need to know. #Australia #SocialMediaBan #Under16Ban #childrensocialmedia #socialmediaban #onlinesafetylaw #australialaw --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
