Reddit and the Digital Freedom Project, led by New South Wales state MP John Ruddick, are asking Australia’s High Court to overturn the under-16 social media ban, arguing it burdens the implied freedom of political communication. The government says the law aims to reduce young people’s exposure to harmful platform features.
