Australia will add the streaming platform Twitch to its list of social media sites banned for users under 18, starting next month. This expands an existing ban that already covers Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat.
Why it matters:
- The ban aims to protect teenagers from potential harms linked to social media use.
- It affects millions of Australian teens by restricting access to popular platforms.
MNN Take: The move reflects growing government efforts to regulate online spaces for younger users, though details on enforcement and impact remain limited.
