Australia says Meta, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube aren’t fully complying with child account ban
MELBOURNE: Australia’s online safety watchdog said on Tuesday it was considering court action against Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube alleging they are not doing enough to keep Australian children younger than 16 off their platforms.
Experts say the Australian courts could decide what steps the platforms can reasonably be expected to take under the laws that took effect on Dec. 10 banning young children from holding accounts.
