X has argued that Australia's proposed ban on social media for under-16s could interfere with international law. The platform also criticized the country's information-gathering powers as invasive.
X stated that the ban risks conflicting with foreign legal obligations. The company called for the Australian government to abandon plans to strengthen restrictions on children's access to the platform.
The argument centers on concerns over data collection requirements. X described these powers as overly broad and potentially unlawful under international standards.
This latest position adds to ongoing debates about age limits on social media in Australia. Officials have not yet responded to the platform's comments.
