Reddit Adds Global Teen Safety Features Ahead of Australia Ban

Reddit Inc. is launching new safety features globally for all under-18s on its popular online forums ahead of Australia’s groundbreaking social media ban.

The new features that are being rolled out now around the world include stricter chat settings and restrictions on personalized advertising, the San Francisco-based company said in a post on Monday. The settings will automatically kick in when the site determines a user is under 18, a company spokesperson said.
