The age-restriction ban for children under 16 takes effect on December 10 and will cover nine platforms, now including Reddit and Kick. Previously listed platforms include TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Threads. The eSafety regulator assessed multiple platforms and will continue ongoing assessments; the restricted list is dynamic and may grow.

The eSafety Commission will monitor platform features and may capture services that evolve from online gaming to social media. Kick launched in 2022 and is known for lenient moderation.
