The Digital Freedom Project Incorporated v. Commonwealth of Australia is a pending legal challenge to Australia's Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act 2024. The lawsuit was filed by the Digital Freedom Project along with two teenagers arguing that the law violates the implied freedom of political communication within Australia on 26 November 2025, two weeks before the law took effect on 10 December 2025.[1][2] On 4 December 2025 the High Court of Australia accepted the legal challenge to the amendment brought by the Digital Freedom Project agreeing to hear the case as early as February 2026.[3] No hearing has happened as of 26 April 2026.
