00:14There are definitely things that pop up on your Instagram or on your TikTok, all sorts of different social medias that are just not appropriate to be seeing.
00:20I think so, because some of the children get abused on computers, it's not right.

00:35It's how easily accessible you are as a child, anyone can find you, anyone can talk to you. I think it absolutely should be more regulated.
00:46I do think they should consider similar restrictions, but not for like, maybe lower the age, because in Australia it's 16 and below.
00:56I think it should be like 13 maybe, 13 and below.
