Here in the UK, the government is consulting on whether to ban children from using social media. Australia and Spain have already implemented similar bans, and France has backed a ban for under-15s. So, are the social media giants facing a reckoning? And should the government intervene in our kids' social media use? Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Hannah Barnes.
