Summary
If you want to call in to future episodes join the club: https://patreon.com/ammorningsLast week, the Australian Government’s new mandate came into force - banning under 16 year olds from using major social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram and Twitch. The Government says the policy is aimed at protecting young people from harmful content and other risks such as cyberbullying and grooming.Is this the government overstepping their role, taking on the responsibility of the parents or is this a necessary move to help redress mental health issues that are facing young adults in this day and age?
