Australia's online platforms are stumbling at the very first step in implementing age checks for users, rendering a world-first teen social media ban ineffective, a study by a team that advised the government's rollout of the curbs found.
Since December, Australia's new social media law has mandated that platforms including Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube bar people under 16 years from having accounts. Operators must take reasonable steps to comply, and the government has recommended using multiple checks to determine users' age.
澳大利亚的在线平台在实施用户年龄验证的第一步就遇到了困难，导致一项全球首例的青少年社交媒体禁令难以奏效，一项由曾为政府推出该限制措施提供建议的团队进行的研究发现。
自去年12月起，澳大利亚新的社交媒体法规定，包括Instagram、Snapchat和YouTube在内的平台必须禁止16岁以下用户拥有账号。运营商必须采取合理措施来遵守该规定，政府已建议使用多重检查来确定用户年龄。
