Australia launches world-first social media ban for under-16s

Australia launched a world-first crackdown banning under-16s from social media on Tuesday, locking hundreds of thousands of teenagers out of platforms such as Instagram and TikTok.

Social media giants now face fines of up to Aus$49.5 million (U.S.$33 million) if they fail to purge their platforms of Australia-based accounts belonging to users younger than 16.
