New platforms on notice as under-16s social media ban nears
Manage episode 522323148 series 5427
The list of social media platforms banned for kids under 16 years old could grow ahead of next week's lockout.
The eSafety Commissioner has written to two platforms — Lemon8 and Yope — recommending they self-assess to determine if they fall under new laws that begin on December 10.
The High Court is also considering a last-minute challenge to the laws, as bureaucrats dismiss concerns the ban will further isolate vulnerable young Australians.
- Guest: Lizzie O'Shea, Chair of Digital Rights Watch and human rights lawyer
- Producer: Jason Whittaker
