Australia will ban social media for under-16s starting requiring age verification without government IDs.
Starting December 10, 2025, Australia will enforce a ban on social media use for children under 16, requiring platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat to prevent underage account creation.
Platforms must use "reasonable steps" for age verification, such as behavioral analysis or location data, but specific methods are not mandated.
Government-issued IDs are not required as the sole verification method, and no centralized digital ID system will be used.
The law aims to protect youth online, though concerns remain over enforcement, privacy, and account recovery.
Over 200,000 have visited the eSafety website, and platforms have not disclosed detailed compliance plans.
