Preparing for Social Media Ban on December 10: Tips for Users and Parents

Australia will ban certain social media platforms from having users under 16 from December 10. Affected platforms include Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and Reddit. Users can download their data before being kicked off by following platform-specific guides. Those under 16 will still be able to see publicly available content, but will need to search for their favourite accounts on a web browser. Users over 16 may accidentally have their accounts removed; they should check their accounts and download important data before the ban.
