Meta shuts 756,000 accounts in Australia
Meta announced that it has closed over 750,000 accounts of individuals under the age of 16 in Australia since the law banning minor accounts on Facebook and Instagram was implemented, between December and June. The measures include closing 462,000 accounts on Instagram and 294,000 on Facebook, in an effort to comply with the law aimed at protecting children's mental and physical health from the impacts of social media. There are also expectations of potential legal actions against platforms that do not fully comply. However, studies show that more than 80% of children under 16 continued to use social media during the first three months of the ban, highlighting the challenges in effectively enforcing the regulation.
