Australia adds Amazon's Twitch to teen social media ban, spares Pinterest

Australia's internet watchdog will include Amazon's Twitch in its teen social media ban starting December 10, but not Pinterest. The ban prohibits those aged 16 and under from using social media, with penalties up to A$49.5 million for non-compliance. Twitch will deactivate accounts for under-16 users by January 9. Pinterest is excluded as its primary purpose is not social interaction. The ban also includes Reddit, Kick, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X, and YouTube. No further assessments will be made before the rules take effect.
