Australia's eSafety Commissioner received over 2,200 complaints about sexual extortion in six months, with a third coming from men aged 18 to 24.

“A child today can’t walk into a bar and order ​a drink, they can’t stroll into ‌a strip club or browse an adult shop or sit down at a blackjack table in a casino,” eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said

Australia is advocating for its social media ban for teenagers to be adopted globally, despite questions about its effectiveness domestically. Reports from the eSafety commissioner indicate that two-thirds of teenagers are still accessing platforms included in the ban.
