BTCCSquare news:
Australia's government has clarified enforcement mechanisms for its forthcoming legislation prohibiting children under 16 from creating social media accounts. The updated guidelines target mainstream platforms, requiring them to implement robust age verification systems and deactivate underage accounts with clear user notifications.
Privacy considerations remain unresolved, particularly regarding the disposition of content posted by minors and potential account recovery upon turning 16. Platforms must prevent circumvention attempts through VPNs while balancing data protection in age verification processes.
