Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on the Government introducing their own teen social media ban
Published 1 day, 11 hours ago
Description
A teen social media ban, resembling one pioneered by Australia, is being introduced to Parliament today.
The Online Safety Bill requires platforms like Instagram and TikTok to block accounts for under-16s, and set up stronger age verification.
Failing to do so could bring penalties worth up to 10 percent of global revenue.
Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says it's important to find a solution - as social media usage is a concern impacting all parents.
