Meta has announced the removal of 756,000 Australian teen accounts as part of efforts to enforce upcoming restrictions on social media use. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The company stated that these measures were taken in preparation for new rules regarding teenagers' use of social media in Australia. The actions are aimed at ensuring online safety for minors.
According to company representatives, the account removals were carried out as a preventive measure ahead of stricter bans. Meta said it will continue its efforts and implement additional measures to protect teenagers.
The Australian government plans to introduce strict limits on social media usage by teenagers. This is intended to reduce the negative impact of social media on the mental health of young people in the country.
Meta's move is part of a broader initiative to safeguard teenagers in Australia. The company has pledged to continue this work in the future.
