Australia's Teen Social Media Ban Beginning

edited December 4 in Off-Topic
From the BBC: "Younger Australian teenagers on Instagram, Facebook and Threads are being told their accounts will be shut down ahead of the country's social media ban for under-16s. Meta, which owns the three brands, said it had begun notifying users it believes to be between 13 and 15 years old by text, email and in-app messages that their accounts would start being deactivated from 4 December. The ban ... affects a number of platforms which also include TikTok, YouTube, X and Reddit."
