✅ Tech Time Recap – Social Media Ban for Under-16s
Episode Now Wrapped – Here’s What We Covered
Thanks to everyone who tuned in today! David & Alex took a deep dive into Australia’s new Social Media Ban for under-16s, breaking it down in a clear, neutral and practical way for local families.
Here’s a quick recap of what we covered:
🔍 What the ban actually is
We explained the new age restrictions, how platforms are required to enforce them, and what the legislation does and doesn’t include.
🎯 Why the ban was introduced
Mental health concerns, exposure to harmful content, online grooming risks, and the government’s push for stronger protections for young people.
👦 Who this affects
Kids and teens under 16, families with multiple devices, shared households, local schools, and young people already using social platforms.
📱 Platform enforcement
How companies like Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and others are verifying ages, the accuracy challenges, and what changes users can expect to see.
🏡 What parents can do at home
Practical steps like parental controls, router filtering, device settings, realistic household rules, and setting up tech agreements with kids.
🗣️ How to talk to children & teens
We shared approaches for having calm, respectful conversations — including examples of what to say and how to handle frustration or pushback.
