Two days of hearings on a challenge to Australia’s landmark social media ban for children will begin at the country’s highest court on Tuesday.
In a major test of the world-leading policy, a digital rights group will argue that the ban for under-16s robs children of their right to free communication. A separate challenge launched by platform Reddit will be jointly heard.
Introduced last December, the ban is a key part of sweeping changes the Australian government has spearheaded in recent years on online safety.
