Australia has decided to include YouTube in the list of banned social platforms for children under the age of 16, as part of a new law aimed at protecting minors from the harmful influences of social networks.

The law, which goes into effect in December, already bans access to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and Snapchat for teenagers under 16. With the inclusion of YouTube, children will be able to watch videos, but will not be allowed to have an account, upload content or interact with others on the platform.

YouTube has reacted to the decision by saying that it is not a social network and that the platform offers "benefits and value" to young Australians. The company announced that it will consider further steps and continue cooperation with the authorities.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the decision is part of an effort to protect children from the social harm that comes from networks. "We know that this is not the only solution, but it will make an important difference," he said.

The law is being closely followed by other countries as well. Norway has announced a similar measure, while the United Kingdom is considering implementing the same model.

Applications for online games, messaging, education and health, which are considered to be at lower risk for minors, will be exempt from the ban.

Tech companies that fail to comply with the law will face fines of up to A$50 million. They are obliged to deactivate the existing accounts of users under 16 and stop creating new ones.
