So at almost the last moment, Twitch has been added to the list of age-restricted social media platforms for Australia's #SocialMediaBan for under16s, which is officially active in less than three weeks.

I believe the expression is: 'building the plane while it's flying'.

It was odd the Kick (basically a Twitch clone) was included & Twitch wasn't, but adding platforms so late makes talking about this ban even more complicated/confusing.

And to be fair to the platform, 2 weeks isn't a huge amount of time for Twitch to get age gating in place for the under16s, either.
