"Instagram Begins Shutting Down Australian Teen Accounts Ahead of National Under-16 Ban."
"Meta starts warning Australian users aged 13-15 that their Instagram, Facebook and Threads accounts will be deactivated from 4 December."
"The nationwide ban on under-16s using major social platforms comes into force on 10 December, covering TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit and more."
Meta has begun notifying Australian users aged 13–15 that their Instagram, Facebook and Threads accounts will be deactivated from 4 December. Account deactivations by Meta serve as an immediate enforcement step prior to the statutory ban. The nationwide restriction on under‑16s using major social platforms takes effect on 10 December. The ban covers TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit and other large services, preventing under‑16s from maintaining accounts on those platforms. Affected teens and families must prepare for account closures and seek alternatives or compliance paths before the ban’s effective date.
