Australia formally introduces a ban on under-16s accessing social media on Wednesday 10 December, but platforms have already started prompting users for age verification.

We would like to hear from you – how have you been affected by the social media ban? Have there been any issues with your child’s account deactivation, or has an account you have been mistakenly affected? Have there been any flow-on effects in using services linked to social media accounts?

Let us know your family’s experiences using the form below. We may publish your words, if you give us permission, or contact you to ask for further information.

If the respondent is under 18, a parent or guardian must complete the form on their behalf. If you’re having trouble using the form click here. Read terms of service here and privacy policy here.
