While it’s great that we’re talking more about improving the online world for young people, UNICEF Australia thinks that the proposed changes won’t fix the problems young people face online. Social media has a lot of good things, like education and staying in touch with friends. We think it’s more important to make social media platforms safer and to listen to young people to make sure any changes actually help. That’s why we’re including young people’s opinions when we’re talking to the government about making online spaces as safe as they can be.
What does UNICEF Australia think about the social media ban?
