Dougal Sutherland: Does NZ need a social media ban?
Published 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
In just a few days, a law banning the use of social media for under 16s will take effect in Australia.

But younger millennial and gen Z parents seem to be recognising the dangers, and most often opting to keep their kids offline.
