Reddit

Reddit is an online discussion platform that has recently become newsworthy due to its involvement in the debate surrounding social media access for children. Australia implemented a ban on social media use for those under 16, leading to the removal of millions of accounts across various platforms, including Reddit. The company has launched a high court challenge against this ban, arguing it infringes on children's rights and necessitates intrusive verification processes for all users. Despite these challenges, Reddit is experiencing growth in the UK, surpassing TikTok in popularity due to its search algorithms and appeal to Gen Z. The platform's relevance stems from its position in the ongoing discussion about social media regulation, child safety, and the evolving digital landscape.
