Australia bans YouTube accounts for children under 16 in reversal of previous stance
The Statesman Siliguri
|July 31, 2025
The Australian government announced YouTube will be among the social media platforms that must ensure account holders are at least 16 years old from December, reversing a position taken months ago on the popular video-sharing service.
YouTube was listed as an exemption in November last year when the Parliament passed world-first laws that will ban Australian children younger than 16 from platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and X.
Communications Minister Anika Wells released rules Wednesday that decide which online services are defined as "age-restricted social media platforms" and which avoid the age limit.
The age restrictions take effect 10 December and platforms will face fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) for "failing to take responsible steps" to exclude underage account holders, a government statement said. The steps are not defined.
