Australia is about to become the first country in the world to introduce a minimum age of 16 for major social media platforms - including Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, reddit and also platforms like YouTube, and its being referred to as the Social Media Ban. Supporters call it a necessary step to protect young people. Critics say it’s unrealistic, hard to enforce, and will have problematic consequences.

So what does this mean for creators? For audiences? For the future of content and free expression? And if Australia goes first… who’s next?”

We are joined by special guests Sarah Renae Clark and Taylor Lorenz to help unpack the issues.

Blogger turned tech columnist for the Washington Post Taylor Lorenz discusses the importance of balanced journalism, while wrapping in some of the biggest news items of 2022; including Twitter, the Depp/Heard trial, and NFTs.
