The government wants to ban under 16s from social media saying it’s harming children and parents need support.

It’s a move that has the support of the federal opposition and many parents, but does an outright ban risk cutting off important support and sources of information for young people?

Today, we explore some alternative ideas to help make social media safer with a cyber safety expert and an advocate for better mental health for young people.

Kriti Gupta emphasises the importance of educating youth on safe internet use rather than imposing a blanket ban.

She argues that social media can be a crucial tool for maintaining friendships and developmental skills.

Susan McLean highlights the challenges of enforcing such a ban and stresses the need for comprehensive education and parental involvement.

She says many young people rely on social media for community and support, especially those who are socially isolated or neurodivergent.

Both guests agree that while there are risks, a more nuanced approach is necessary to protect and educate young users.
