Show Notes

There’s a belief a social media ban could benefit young people. 

Australia's holding an age-verification trial in coming months, but it's unknown what the cut off age will be, or how it will be enforced.  

Christopher Luxon has also expressed interest in the idea. 

Parenting expert Nathan Wallis told Ryan Bridge there's a correlation between social media and youth mental health issues. 

He says if things like social media are banned, it may be revealed as the major cause of the country's mental health crisis in teens.
