What Australians think of the under-16 social media ban


People on the streets of Sydney reacted with mixed feelings to a new law which will ban children under 16 in Australia from using social media.

Some said it was a “great idea” while others suggested responsibility for children’s social media use should rest with parents.

The ban could see tech companies fined up to A$50m ($32.5m; £25.7m) if they don’t comply. The law will not take effect for at least 12 months.
