SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australia’s internet watchdog on Wednesday widened its world-first teen social media ban to include Reddit and video live streaming platform Kick, and said more sites could be added if their main role was to enable online social interaction.
Australia will become the first country to fine social media firms up to A$49.5 million ($32 million) if they fail to take reasonable steps to block users aged under 16. The law will become effective from December 10.
