Meta, Snapchat & TikTok Fail Child Account Ban, Australia Says | Justo Global

Australia's eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, reports that Meta, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube are falling short in enforcing child account bans. These platforms inadequately verify users' ages, raising concerns about minors’ exposure to harmful content. Inman Grant states, “We have seen a 'lack of accountability' from these companies,” urging them to implement stronger safeguards. The non-compliance highlights ongoing challenges in digital safety regulations and child protection online.
