Reddit takes legal action against Australias social media ban for users under 16; US-based firm claims barring U-16 teens would impede political discourse in the country

Reddit has filed a lawsuit against Australia's new rule banning under-16s from social media. The company argues the law infringes on political participation and free speech for young Australians. The ban, effective December 10, requires platforms to block underage users or face hefty fines. Reddit seeks to overturn the policy, protecting digital access for teens nationwide.
