Reddit is challenging Australia's new Social Media Minimum Age (SMMA) law, which recently went into effect, in the High Court of Australia, arguing it infringes on freedom of political communication and privacy rights.The legislation, championed by Anthony Albanese and eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, prohibits individuals under 16 from major social media platforms, with non-compliant companies facing fines up to A$49.5 million.Despite the law, which has prompted other platforms like Yope and Lemon8 to be contacted by
eSafety, some teenagers are finding ways to circumvent age verification, raising questions about its overall effectiveness and the practicalities of enforcement.
