When Australia Banned Social Media

Brendan and Danniebelle discuss Australia’s social media ban for under 16s, now three months in after starting in December. They talk through whether it’s actually helping reduce issues like cyberbullying and anxiety, or if it’s creating new challenges.

Some families are love the extra offline time and fewer screens, while others, especially parents of kids with disabilities, feel the rules have cut off important connections. Brendan and Danniebelle share practical thoughts on how parents can stay involved and adapt, as they reflect on whether the ban is playing out the way it was intended.
