Meta says it removed over 750,000 Instagram and Facebook accounts to comply with Australia's social media ban
Meta removed over 750,000 Facebook and Instagram accounts in Australia, assessing them as belonging to users under 16, in compliance with a new social media ban. This includes over 450,000 accounts from Instagram and 290,000 from Facebook, with enforcement ongoing as the company aims to ensure safer online experiences for young users. Despite the ban, a report indicated that over 80% of children aged 10-15 still accessed social media, often bypassing age restrictions.
