# An Australian family with millions of online fans are relocating to the UK to avoid their home country’s social media ban for under-16s which starts in December. Known as the “Empire Family”, the four-member unit is made up of mums Beck and Bec Lea, 17-year-old son Prezley and their 14-year-old daughter Charlotte, who all post videos of their daily lives. Australia’s ban, touted as a world-first, will mean Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X and YouTube must take “reasonable steps” to prevent those under 16 years from creating accounts and deactivate existing ones.
