SYDNEY, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Reddit RDDT.N on Friday filed a lawsuit in Australia's top court challenging the country's social media ban and will ask the court to overturn the company's inclusion in the law. "This law has the unfortunate effect of forcing intrusive and potentially insecure verification processes on adults as well as minors ... and creating an illogical patchwork of which platforms are included and which aren't," Reddit said.
