Social media ban draws concerns from families and industry

from From Pillar to Post · host CBAA

The federal government's attempt to ban social media for children under the age of 16 years old has been met with scepticism across the country. Despite assurances the responsibility lies with the tech giants, parents are unsure what role they'll have to play when the ban kicks in later this year. Meanwhile younger Australians are feeling ignored throughout the process with some worried tech literacy will only get worse. It's a sticky situation which has to be resolved in less than four months.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
