Back to EpisodesAustralia's eSafety Commission Eyes Legal Action Against Social Media Giants
Description
Australias online safety watchdog is threatening legal action against Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube for failing to block enough underage users. The new law, effective since December 10th, requires these platforms to remove underage Australian accounts, but only five million out of millions were deactivated. The Communications Minister accuses these platforms of intentionally not doing enough, while Meta, Snapchat, and TikTok remain silent. eSafety plans to decide on lawsuits by midyear, pushing platforms to protect young Australians online.
