Meta Warns Young Australians to Save Data Ahead of Nationwide Social Media Ban

Meta has started alerting thousands of Australian users under 16 to download and back up their data as the country prepares to enforce a nationwide social media ban for minors from December 10. The policy covers Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, with strict age-verification measures set to be rolled out. The move aims to enhance online safety but has sparked debate over data access and digital freedoms.
