‘Scrambling over the details’: Opposition slams lack of clarity around u-16 social media ban
The shadow comms minister isn't convinced the u-16 social media ban is ready to implement
The shadow minister for communications has slammed the Albanese government for being ill-prepared for the under-16 social media ban, set to take effect in less than a month.
On December 10, Australians under 16 will be locked out of social media platforms, including Tiktok, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X, Youtube, Reddit, and Kick.
However, details on the means used to verify user age, and a full list of platforms impacted by the legislation, are yet to be finalised. Reddit and Kick were added to the list on Tuesday evening.
