Social Media Summary

Reddit has taken legal action against the Australian government, aiming to block a new law that prohibits children under 16 from having social media accounts. The company argues that this legislation infringes on children's rights, stirring controversy over online access for minors.

In a separate development, the U.S. government is looking to require foreign tourists to disclose five years of social media history before entering the country. Critics have described this proposal as a chilling form of censorship, warning it could deter tourism and lead to self-censorship among travelers.

This plan, part of a broader effort by the Trump administration, has raised concerns about civil liberties and the impact on free speech. Meanwhile, Australia has implemented its ban, resulting in significant pushback from teenagers and fears over regulation enforcement.

As these laws evolve, the implications for social media access and privacy rights continue to unfold globally.
