How do teens feel about social media age limits?

RN Breakfast - Separate stories podcast

The Australian e-Safety Commissioner has called for age limits to restrict access to social media for children or young teens. But what do teenagers themselves think of the proposal?

Ava and Holly, two Victorian 16-year-olds from the Reach Foundation joined RN Breakfast to discuss the way they use social media. They told RN Breakfast that it's not a social media "systematic issue" but an issue with the people who are using the platforms. They're advocating for increased social media literacy, more effective parental-blocks and age-limits on explicit content, rather than an all-out ban.
