00:28We are setting a new community standard.
00:31Making it clear that social media companies have a social responsibility.
00:36And sending a message to all those mums and dads who are worried
00:40about the impact that social media is having on their children's wellbeing,
00:45their mental health, their confidence and their sense of self.
00:49That message is simple.

02:52I think that it's a good idea. I think that it's got the right intentions.
02:55I think that sometimes kids can be too young and social media
02:58are exposed to a lot of things that probably shouldn't be exposed to when you're younger.
03:02I think there are dangers with social media usage,
03:05but there was no indication of how this is going to be implemented
03:09to stop the people using it, or the under-16s using it.
03:14I think it's also bad because it might mean that a lot of older Australians
03:18are going to have to provide ID to these digital companies.
03:21I don't think there's a way really even to police it.
03:23I don't think it will actually change a lot
03:25because I don't see that there's really a wrong way to police it.
03:28Looking back on it now, remembering some of the things I saw on it,
03:32it was a little bit sort of traumatic.
03:35Some of those things aren't good for a developing mind to see.
03:39So I think it's good that the government's done this ban,
03:42but in terms of enforcement, I'm not sure how it will really be carried out.
