Australia’s social media ban – your questions answered | BBC News

Millions of children and teenagers under the age of 16 have lost access to their social media accounts in Australia, after a world-first ban came into effect on Tuesday.

Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X, Snapchat, Kick, Twitch, TikTok, Reddit and YouTube are among the platforms required to enforce the new legislation.

The Australian government says the ban is aimed at protecting young people from harmful content, but critics suggest it could isolate vulnerable teenagers and push children into unregulated corners of the internet.

BBC Your Voice answers your questions surrounding the ban and how it will work.
