Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman-Grant, warns that Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, X, and YouTube may fall under a social-media ban for users under 16, effective December 10. Inman-Grant communicated this in letters to the companies, indicating a significant regulatory shift aimed at protecting minors online. This move could impact user engagement and advertising revenues for these platforms. As regulations tighten, companies must prepare for the impending changes.
