Meta Says It’s Shut Down 750,000 Under-16 Accounts in Australia

Meta said it removed access to more than 750,000 Instagram/Facebook accounts in Australia tied to users believed to be under 16 since it began complying with the country’s youth social media ban last year. The disclosure is a compliance update rather than a financial result, with limited immediate market impact likely focused on regulatory and platform moderation scrutiny.
