Parmjeet Parmar: ACT MP on the outcome of the Parliamentary Select Committee into online safety, youth social media ban

There are claims a Parliamentary inquiry into online safety is rushing toward regulation without fully considering the consequences.  A Select Committee is backing a social media ban for under 16s and calling for an online regulator and tougher controls on harmful apps and algorithms.  ACT MP Parmjeet Parmar initiated the inquiry last year but says the recommendations don't have adequate analysis.  She told Ryan Bridge concerns about youth online are real, and we need to find real solutions for them.  Parmar says it's a complex issue and wasn't dealt with the seriousness that parents and young people deserve.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
