Extra: Australia Banned Teens From Social Media. Should The US Follow?

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Radio

Australia’s Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act came into effect this week, barring anyone under 16 from having a social media account. With the growing concerns about how technology and platforms like TikTok and Instagram are harming children, there are calls in America to pass similar laws. Social media reform advocate and founder of Scrolling2Death.com, Nicki Petrossi, says teens under 16 should be prohibited from using social media. Petrossi recently joined The FOX News Rundown’s Lisa Brady to discuss the dangers of kids being online and why she thinks tech companies are not doing enough to protect them from online risks. She also explains how many big techs intentionally try to get young people addicted to their apps and products, and why parents need to act. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.
