Canberra: Global online platform Reddit has filed a High Court challenge against Australia’s world-first social media ban for under-16s.

In filings lodged in the High Court of Australia on Friday, Reddit claimed that the social media restrictions are being inaccurately applied to the platform because it is primarily a forum for adults and does not have ‘traditional’ social media features that the government has taken issue with.

Reddit said it would continue to comply with the restrictions, but that the law has the ‘unfortunate effect’ of forcing intrusive and potentially insecure verification processes on adults as well as minors.
