Reddit challenges Australia’s under-16 social media ban

US-based internet forum Reddit has filed a High Court challenge against Austraila's recent social media ban for users under 16, citing "serious privacy and political expression issues for everyone on the internet," a company spokesperson said.
In court filings lodged on Dec. 12, Reddit argues the ban infringes the country's implied freedom of political communication, restricting children from engaging in online political discourse—a factor that, the company contends, informs the views of parents, teachers, and future voters.
