Government & Regulators · eSafety Commissioner (Australia)

Australia's eSafety Commissioner, charged with enforcing the world's first nationwide under-16 social media law.

Julie Inman Grant serves as Australia's eSafety Commissioner, the regulator responsible for enforcing the country's under-16 social media law, which took effect in December 2025 as the first ban of its kind anywhere in the world. Her office sits at the operational end of a policy debate other countries are still having in theory: how an age limit written into law actually gets applied to real platforms and real accounts. Her work is a live case study for the government lane of this library — regulation moving from advisory language into enforcement, and the practical questions that raises for platforms, families, and kids.
