1. Two 15-year-olds, along with a children's digital rights group led by a New South Wales lawmaker, have filed a lawsuit against the Australian government to prevent a social media ban for minors.
2. The new law, set to take effect on December 10th, requires social media platforms to prevent children under 16 from creating or maintaining accounts, with non-compliance facing significant fines.
3. Major platforms like TikTok, X, Snapchat, and YouTube are included in the ban, as the government maintains its stance that it is acting in the interest of parents, despite legal challenges and opposition from those who argue that the legislation infringes on children's constitutional freedom of political communication.
