We’ve informed Twitch that we consider it an age-restricted social media platform in accordance with Australia’s social media minimum age legislation.   Following its own self-assessment, we assessed Twitch as meeting the criteria for an age-restricted social media platform. This is because it has a sole or significant purpose of online social interaction with features designed to encourage user interaction, including through livestreaming content.   Twitch is a platform most commonly used for livestreaming or posting content that enables users, including Australian children, to interact with others in relation to the content posted.   From 10 December age-restricted social media platforms will be required to take reasonable steps to prevent under 16s from having accounts on their platform.   We’ve published our views on whether some platforms will be age-restricted social media platforms to provide additional certainty for Australian families and industry.    But we expect all online platforms that operate in Australia to assess their obligations under Australian law. We’ve provided an assessment tool to help them understand if they’re required to comply with the social media minimum age and remain in ongoing discussions with industry about compliance obligations.   Learn more about the upcoming social media age restrictions on our website: https://lnkd.in/gtn4aE_c
