TikTok to comply with Australia’s ‘upsetting’ under&16 social media ban
TikTok on Friday said it will comply with Australia's ban on social media for under-16s which comes into effect December 10. The ByteDance-owned social media company said the measures "may be upsetting" for some of its young users but it was necessary to comply with Australian law. The company's statement came a day after Meta began removing under-16s in Australia from Instagram, Threads and Facebook.
