Australia are set to ban social media for under-16s, should the UK follow suit? What are your concerns with children and social media?
Transcript
00:00I think there's always a general issue about censorship because how far do you go as soon as you start letting it, what are the implications of that?
00:08That being said, I got Instagram when I was in, I remember having it in year five, and that's way too early.
00:14There are definitely things that pop up on your Instagram or on your TikTok, all sorts of different social medias that are just not appropriate to be seeing.
00:20I think so, because some of the children get abused on computers, it's not right.
00:29I'm an older lady, so you know, I feel it should be banned.
00:35It's how easily accessible you are as a child, anyone can find you, anyone can talk to you. I think it absolutely should be more regulated.
00:46I do think they should consider similar restrictions, but not for like, maybe lower the age, because in Australia it's 16 and below.
00:56I think it should be like 13 maybe, 13 and below.
