Tuesday, YouTube, the platform owned by Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google, said anyone in Australia under 16 will be automatically signed out of their accounts on Dec. 10 as the Social Media Minimum Age Act takes effect.\nThe company confirmed that both viewers and creators will lose access until they turn 16.\nRachel Lord, Google and YouTube Australia's senior public policy manager, said in a blog post that the company is complying even though it opposed being included in the crackdown.\nShe said the law forces teens to watch YouTube without the protections that come with signed-in accounts.\nSubscribe to the Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.\n\"This is a disappointing update to share…. We have consistently said, this rushed regulation misunderstands our platform and the way young Australians use it. Most importantly, this law will not fulfill its promise to make kids safer online, and will, in fact, make Australian kids less safe on YouTube,\" the blog post read.\nSee Also: Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg And Elon Musk Got Richer Since Trump Came To Power, Says Bernie Sanders — New Data Shows He May Have A Point\nThe law, passed in late 2024, requires platforms such as Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:META) Facebook and Instagram, ByteDance's TikTok, Snap Inc.'s (NYSE:SNAP) Snapchat, Reddit Inc. (NASDAQ:RDDT), X, Twitch and YouTube to take \"reasonable steps\" to prevent under-16s from having accounts.\nAustralia's eSafety Commissioner ruled that several services — including Discord, Roblox, WhatsApp, Google Classroom, Pinterest (NYSE:PINS), Microsoft Corp's (NASDAQ:MSFT) GitHub and YouTube Kids — do not meet the criteria of age-restricted social media and will not be subject to the ban.\nEarlier this month, Malaysia raised the minimum age for social media accounts to 16 next year, requiring platforms to verify users' identities through eKYC checks using official documents as part of its Online Safety Act, taking effect Jan. 1, 2026.\nBenzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show GOOG strengthening across short, mid and long-term time frames.
