A new era for social media begins today

Following up on our recent posts “Australia Leads: World-First Social Media Law to Protect Kids” and “Australia Says No to Social Media for Under-16”, today – 10 December 2025 – marks a historic turning point.

Australia’s new law bans platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X from allowing under-16s to create or maintain accounts.

Compliance is not optional—it is a legal obligation. Organisations must act decisively to mitigate risk and align with these new standards, as Non-compliance could cost tech giants up to $50 million.

Australia is setting the global standard for online safety, with the EU already moving in the same direction. A new era for social media begins today.
