Stephen Scheeler: Former Facebook CEO for Australia and New Zealand on whether parental controls are the way forward for social media

Description

Following the launch of Australia's ban on social media for under-16s, there's been debate over whether New Zealand should follow this example.

"I don't think it's a total solution, but I think it is another tool in the toolkit."
