Reddit has filed a lawsuit with Australia's High Court to overturn a new law prohibiting children under 16 from accessing social media platforms. The legislation, enacted on December 10, requires major platforms to deactivate accounts of underage users and block their access—a MOVE critics argue stifles free speech and violates children's rights.

The platform contends it doesn't meet the legal definition of a social media service, describing itself as 'a collection of public fora arranged by subject.' Reddit's challenge highlights broader debates about digital rights and the evolving boundaries of online communication.
