The Australian government announced YouTube will be among the social media platforms that must ensure account holders are at least 16-years-old from December, reversing a position taken months ago on the popular video-sharing service.

The Australia YouTube ban for children under 16 follows a similar move the country announced last year, which banned them from using Meta Platforms Inc.’s Facebook and Instagram, Snap Inc.’s Snapchat,

The move comes a month after Australia's internet regulator urged the government to reverse a planned exemption for the video-sharing platform from its social media ban.
