## Resource

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins BBC Radio Scotland's Lunchtime Live to discuss how some of the world's largest social media platforms, such as TikTok and Youtube, failed to commit to OFCOM's requirement they prevent minors accessing unsuitable content. With a UK Government consultation looking at banning access to under 16s, what are the ramifications of any such proposals and is such a measure even realistic?
