Australian regulator probes Facebook, YouTube over under-16 social media ban
Australia’s online safety regulator has opened probes into several tech firms, including Facebook and YouTube, over possible breaches of the country’s ban on social media use by under-16s.

The regulator is examining whether the platforms violated the rules protecting minors from accessing social media services.
