Australia will enforce a nationwide ban on social media access for users under 16 starting December 10, targeting platforms like Meta, TikTok, and Google. The law mandates strict age verification, with non-compliance penalties reaching A$50 million (US$33 million).

Current self-reporting mechanisms are deemed insufficient, forcing tech companies to explore imperfect but emerging age-verification technologies. The MOVE aligns with global trends toward stricter online safeguards for minors.
