Australia has reversed its earlier decision and will now include YouTube in its ban on social media platforms for children under 16. This announcement, reported by Reuters, expands the scope of the ban, which aims to protect young users from potential harms associated with social media use. The move signals a stricter approach to online safety for minors in Australia, placing YouTube under the same restrictions as other social media platforms. The ban is anticipated to have significant implications for YouTube's user base and content moderation policies in the country.
