Starting December 10, 2025, the Australian government will mandate social media platforms, including YouTube, to restrict account access to users aged 16 and above. This reverses YouTube’s earlier exemption from age restriction laws passed in November. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and X are also covered under the regulation. Non-compliance could result in fines up to 50 million AUD (approx. ₹273 crore). The decision was announced by Communications Minister Anika Wells as part of defining "age-restricted" platforms.
