Following TikTok, Facebook and X, 16 other sites could be affected by a ban for those under 16 in Australia, the national regulator warned on Wednesday, calling on these platforms, including WhatsApp and Twitch, to present their arguments.

Australia is one of the pioneering countries in internet regulation: its Parliament adopted a law at the end of 2024 banning social media sites such as TikTok, X, Facebook, and Instagram for children under 16.
