The teenagers have recently proclaimed that social media companies and the Australian government should be employing their resources to remove harmful content rather than prohibiting under-16s.
The social media firms including Meta, TikTok and YouTube must ensure that young Australians cannot hold accounts on their platforms.
According to campaigners, the law is crucial to protect children from harmful content and algorithms that can promote it to users.
The new policy is called into question in the nation’s highest court by two 15-year-olds, who focus on the act of unjustly violating that right.
Noah Jones, in conversation with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, said there were bad things happening online but that did not specifically mean banning under-16s was the right approach.
He said, "We shouldn't be using the resources and money of these social platforms to meet arbitrary deadlines or to try to avoid fines from our government."
"They should be using this money and resources to try to get rid of the predators and harmful content out there," he further added.
In this connection, Communication Minister Anika Wells stated that the government would remain resolute after the case was filed in the High Court on Wednesday.
She explained, "We will not be intimidated by threats. We will not be intimidated by legal challenges. We will not be intimidated by big tech. On behalf of Australian parents, we will stand firm."
Meanwhile, some opponents say the law hinders children from developing connections with peers and restricting access to all selected networks.
The teens have taken their initial fight and escalated the issue to the High Court, but the government is determined in enforcing the ban as scheduled.
