Five major social media platforms—Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube—are under investigation by Australia's e-Safety Commissioner for potential breaches of the under-16 social media ban. Communications Minister Annika Wells confirms enforcement action has begun, with evidence being gathered on how children are circumventing age verification through VPNs, false IDs and other methods. The platforms face potential fines of up to $50 million, with the e-Safety Commissioner building cases to take to federal court.
