We’re writing to let you know that starting 10 December 2025, Australian law will require that redditors in Australia must be 16 or older to create and use Reddit accounts.

Users confirmed to be under 16 will have their accounts suspended under the new Australian minimum age law. While we disagree with the Government's assessment of Reddit as being within the scope of the law, we need to take steps to comply. This means anyone in Australia with a Reddit account confirmed to be under 16 will be blocked from accessing their account or creating a new one. Note that as an open platform, Reddit is still available to browse without an account.

If you have questions, please visit Reddit Help. To request a copy of your Reddit account data, you can follow the instructions on this help center article or email redditdatarequests@reddit.com from the email address you used to verify your Reddit account.
