Reddit is suing the Australian government over a new law that bans children under the age of 16 from using social media platforms. The company argues that the law violates the political speech rights of minors and contends that it should not be categorized as a typical social media platform, as reported by multiple sources.
As this legal battle unfolds, other countries are observing Australia's move closely, with several European nations considering similar restrictions, and Britain's stance remains undecided, indicating a potential trend in global social media regulation.
In unrelated news, Florida influencer Lisa Singh has been arrested for allegedly making inappropriate advances towards a minor, highlighting ongoing concerns regarding influencer behavior online. Meanwhile, a video of a man hiding in a Waymo taxi trunk has gone viral, raising safety concerns about driverless vehicles, particularly on social media platforms like TikTok where such incidents spread rapidly.
