Australians will need to verify their age in order to access adult content on a range of places across the internet, with pornography sites and other sites hosting adult content required to have age assurance in place from today.

The second tranche, from Monday, will cover websites, social media, storage services, AI chatbots, app stores and equipment providers like phone makers or console developers.
