Australia’s eSafety Commissioner has released regulatory guidelines to enforce the upcoming ban on social media use by under-16s, effective December 10. Platforms must remove underage accounts but aren’t required to verify every user’s age or store personal data. The move aims to reduce online harm while minimising data intrusion, though critics question its effectiveness.
