How banning kids from social media will affect you

Headlines: Labor looks to crack down on billionaires in Aussie elections, fears of a trade war overshadow APEC summit and Aussie scientists invent possible solution for fatbergs.

Deep Dive: The federal government has introduced a world-first plan to ban kids younger than 16 from accessing social media.

Depending on who you ask, it's either an election-winning policy that addresses the anxieties of mums and dads across the country - or a poorly thought out, privacy-stealing power grab.

The ban has received bipartisan support from the government - so what's the big deal if it comes into law?

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou unpacks what the ban will mean with 17-year-old Leo Puglisi, founder of 6News, tech and political commentator Stilgherrian, and Libertarian MP David Limbrick.
