Meta, TikTok and Snap agree to comply with Australia’s push to ban social media access for users under 16

International tech giants Meta, TikTok and Snapchat announced on Tuesday that they will comply with Australia’s under-16 social media ban, once it takes effect on 10 December.

Australia’s Parliament approved the law, which requires social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok to remove users under 16. Tech companies could face fines up to $32.5 million for non-compliance.
