This meeting brief prepared for the Minister for Communications' June 2025 discussion with TikTok covers the Government's social media regulation approach, specifically the Online Safety (Age-Restricted Social Media Platforms) Rules 2025 implementing an under-16 age restriction on certain platforms. The brief outlines the Government's objectives regarding draft exclusion rules, an Age Assurance Technology Trial, the Online Safety Act review, news bargaining incentives, and dispute resolution mechanisms. TikTok's expected objective is to challenge the exclusion of YouTube from minimum age obligations while other services (messaging, online games, health/education apps) are proposed for exemption under the broad "age-restricted social media platforms" definition introduced by legislation passed in November 2024, with compliance required by 10 December 2024.
