Online discussion site Reddit on Tuesday condemned Australia's imminent social media ban for under-16s as "legally erroneous" but said it would comply with the landmark crackdown.

Australia's world-first legislation comes into effect December 10, curbing the globe's most popular social media platforms and websites, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Reddit.

US-based Reddit was one of the few remaining firms to say whether or not it would fall into line.

"While we disagree about the scope, effectiveness, and privacy implications of this law, as of December 10, we're making some changes in line with these requirements," the company said in a statement.

Reddit said it could not confirm local media reports that it was mulling a last-ditch legal challenge against the restrictions.
