The criteria for being an age-restricted social media platform are as follows:
The sole purpose, or a significant purpose, of the service is to enable online social interaction between two or more end-users.
The service allows end-users to link to, or interact with, some or all of the other end-users.
The service allows end-users to post material on the service.
The service has a ‘recommender feature’ and/or a ‘logged in feature’, as defined in the Rules.
Material on the service is accessible to, or delivered to, end-users in Australia.
