Description
Social media expert Susan Grantham says Australia's move to ban those under 16 from social media is a "knee-jerk reaction". Instead, she argues that young people need to be taught to "critically think about what they're seeing and engaging with".
The landmark legislation would force social media firms to prevent young teens from accessing their platforms or face fines of up to Aus$50 million (US$32.5 million). SOUNDBITES
