The Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act 2024 requires social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, X, Reddit, Threads, Twitch, and Kick to implement age-verification systems and take reasonable steps to prevent account creation by users under 16, with non-compliant platforms facing penalties of up to A$50 million.
