According to the report, META has removed nearly 550,000 user profiles of users under the age of 16 as part of Australia's ban on minors accessing social media platforms, the first measure of its kind in the world.
The report stated that between December 4 and 11, over 330,000 Instagram accounts, approximately 173,000 Facebook accounts, and nearly 40,000 Threads accounts were deleted.
The report also stated that the ban officially went into effect in December 10, but Meta began removing users a week earlier, notifying affected users in November and allowing them to download their data.
The report added that previously, the company estimated that there were approximately 300,000 Instagram users and 150,000 Facebook users in Australia between the ages of 13 and 15, in addition to cases of minors under the age of 16 registering with false information or with the help of their parents.
Additionally, the survey from the university said that 79 percent of Australian adults support the ban, while 70 percent of minors are opposed. The measure limits access to ten major social platforms for children under 16, including Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat.
