Snapchat's global safety head resists calls to ban under-16s in Australia, favoring parental decision-making.

She believes that raising the age limit for social networks could disadvantage kids who already benefit from online connections. The current age limit for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, and Snapchat is 13 years old, and Beauchere believes that parents and guardians should decide if their teenagers participate in social media.
