YouTube has criticized Australia's new social media ban for under-16s, stating that it will make kids less safe online. The ban, set to take effect on December 10, will automatically sign out Australian users under 16 from YouTube, removing their access to features like default well-being settings and safety filters. YouTube's public policy manager, Rachel Lord, argued that the regulation is 'rushed' and misunderstands how young Australians use the platform. The ban is part of a broader effort by the Australian government to shield young users from 'predatory algorithms' on social media platforms.
