  There is no direct relation between a SIM and a 'social media'
account.

  The SIM might be - and probably is - part of a 'family' mobile plan,
i.e. the minor is not involved in the contract with the mobile provider.

  And the 'social media' account could be used via Wi-Fi or not even on
a mobile phone.

  No, The Aussies just have take part in the method described in the
Spanish references which Carlos posted! :-)
