Snap rolls out bank-linked age checks in Australia; move comes ahead of teen social media ban
Snapchat's parent company, Snap, is rolling out a bank-linked age verification tool in Australia ahead of a new law banning social media for under-16s. Users can verify age via ConnectID, government ID, or selfie-based services. This pioneering move, impacting nearly half a million young Australians, could influence global age verification practices despite privacy concerns.
