Reddit is challenging an Australian law requiring age restrictions on social media by arguing it is not a social media platform, claiming it does not facilitate online social interaction. The High Court's decision could clarify the scope of the law and impact other platforms, but Reddit's argument that it doesn't enable social interaction is likely to be challenged, given its own description of fostering community and connection.
