Australia is set to ban social media for under-16s. What concerns, if any, do you have about children using social media, and do you think the UK should consider similar restrictions?

00:00I have a good sense of this because at 11 something horrid happened to me over social media and I don't think it's a bad thing but I think it's just used in a bad way.
00:16I certainly think we should consider them and actually put laws in place and enforce them, I think it's another matter.
00:24I think it would be very, very difficult. How do you stop her? I could pick up another phone.
00:29I do think there should be some restrictions. I don't know what age group, to be perfectly honest.
00:36Social media's got a lot more control. We sort of need more control on it, more than banning people off it.
00:43Probably 16 might be a bit high as well, maybe 14. You can do a lot of things at 16 and if you can't look at legitimate social media sites at that age then I think it's maybe a bit too much.
00:56I think social media is so damaging. Oh definitely.
