YouTube will be included in Australia’s incoming social media ban, with the federal Labor government going back on an earlier policy.

This means children under the age of 16 will be prohibited from having an active account on the video-sharing platform, along with other popular social media apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and X from early December 2025.
