There’s confidence a Parliamentary inquiry into online safety is on the right track.
A Select Committee endorses a social media ban for under 16s and calls for an online regulator and tougher controls on harmful apps and algorithms.
National's lead MP on the committee, Carl Bates, says some recommendations mirror moves overseas, while others are unique to New Zealand.
He told Mike Hosking transparency around algorithms hasn't been done elsewhere.
Bates says the committee recommends the Government explore it before putting any measures in place.
