Meta’s Age Checks Meet Australia’s High Court

November 10, 2026

Meta is expanding AI-powered age estimation across Instagram, Facebook and Threads just as Australia’s under-16 social media ban reaches the High Court, where Reddit and the Digital Freedom Project argue it is unconstitutional. The same enforcement layer is visible in Ofcom’s admission that “highly effective” age assurance at 16 means ID scans for teens, and in more than 60 countries adopting online restrictions. The contested evidence on teen mental health sits behind a harder material question: who can prove their age, and who is locked out when no ID means no internet.
