On 9th December 2025, it was an opportunity to share perspectives with DD News Live on Australia’s decision to implement restrictions on social media usage for children below the age of 16.

The discussion focused on the growing global debate surrounding digital safety, online behaviour, mental well-being, and the impact of social media on young users. As technology becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, governments and policymakers across the world are exploring ways to create safer and more responsible digital environments for children and adolescents.

The conversation highlighted the importance of balancing technological access with digital responsibility, parental awareness, mental health considerations, and age-appropriate online engagement.
