Australia to add YouTube to child social media ban


The Australian government has announced that YouTube will be included in new legislation banning children under 16 from using social media platforms. The Labor government confirmed Wednesday that starting in December, YouTube will face the same age restrictions as other social media sites under the upcoming law.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese highlighted the move on X, saying the ban aims to protect young Australians by giving them three more years free from algorithm-driven content, allowing them to grow and connect in the real world. The law places responsibility on platforms to prevent underage users or face fines up to $32 million. YouTube’s parent company, Alphabet, expressed disappointment over the inclusion of YouTube, stating it contradicts previous government commitments and saying it will consider next steps while continuing discussions. The decision follows a recent survey by Australia’s eSafety Commission, which found 37% of children had encountered harmful content on YouTube. The legislation requires platforms to implement strict age verification and safety measures to protect minors online. Communications Minister Anika Wells noted the law responds to demands from thousands of concerned parents and reinforces the government’s focus on family safety.
