Australia threatens to sue social media ?giants citing teen ban breaches

Australia is investigating Facebook, TikTok and YouTube for possible breaches of the country’s under-16 social media ban. “Australia’s world-leading social media laws are not failing. But big tech is failing to obey the laws,” Communications Minister Anika Wells said. “Australia will not let the social media giants take us for mugs.” Reuters notes that governments around the world are watching Australia’s moves to rein in the tech giants. “We are now moving ?into an enforcement stance,” said eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant.
