The Prime Minister is hoping to get bipartisan support for banning under-16s from social media. MP Catherine Wedd is putting the Member's Bill proposal in to Parliament's Biscuit Tin - the repository for such bills that are then randomly selected. It follows similar to moves in Australia, and puts more responsibility on social media companies. Former Facebook CEO for Australia and New Zealand, Stephen Scheeler, says social media is difficult to regulate - and there's lots of ways to get around a potential ban. "We've all been teenagers before - you're not supposed to buy alcohol or buy tobacco, and many kids get around this...but with social media, it's the same. There's lots of ways to get around these prohibitions." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
