Ten major social media platforms face US$33 million fines if they fail to take reasonable steps to purge Australia-based accounts belonging to users younger than 16.

SYDNEY: Elon Musk’s X said Wednesday it would comply with Australia’s world-leading crackdown banning under-16s from social media.

“It’s not our choice — it’s what the Australian law requires,” the company said in a statement as the legislation came into effect.

Formerly known as Twitter, X was the last of 10 restricted social media platforms to set out how it will implement Australia’s ban.
