Australia did something most countries talk about and then don’t do. It banned under-16s from social media. No exceptions, no opt-outs for parents.

And the rest of the world noticed.

I joined James Neish on Asia One News’ World Tonight to talk about what that ban actually means, why Australia became the test case, and whether what’s unfolding here is a blueprint or a cautionary tale for digital regulation globally.

The show reaches more than 270 million households across 140 countries. Which tells you something: this isn’t a local policy story any more. It’s a global conversation, and Australia is sitting in the middle of it.
