Australian children moving to new social app Lemon8 but owner expected to restrict users to over-16s

AI Summary
Australia's plan to ban under-16s from social media platforms may take weeks to fully implement, according to communications minister Anika Wells. A newer social media app, Lemon8, has seen increased interest due to not being initially included in the ban. However, Lemon8 will restrict its users to those over 16 starting next week. The eSafety Commission is closely monitoring Lemon8 and other platforms for potential inclusion in the ban. The government acknowledges the scheme won't be perfect from the start but aims to protect younger users.
