Meta șterge 750.000 de conturi ale utilizatorilor sub 16 ani în Australia

Meta has officially removed over 750,000 Facebook and Instagram accounts in Australia in response to a government ban on social media for users under 16. The company disabled 462,000 Instagram accounts and 294,000 Facebook accounts before the ban took effect. Despite these actions, studies show that many young users still access social media. Meta is implementing new software to estimate user ages and has restricted account creation attempts. Representatives from major platforms will testify in a parliamentary inquiry regarding compliance with the new law, which aims to protect minors' mental health.
