## Resource

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Nick Abbot on LBC Radio to discuss the UK government's under 16s social media ban, along with other plans such as banning messaging that disappears. Is implicating the new legislation realistic and could it even jeopardise our security with companies requiring our information and the possibility of a ban even on VPNs? Australia has already introduced far less broad reaching restrictions, but will they work here or are they a step too far?
