The issue

The Australian Government has decided to ban many forms of social media for people under the age of 16. Some of these apps include; TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and many more. Youtube makes the least amount of sense and could ruin the joy of many young people and prevent some from making an income and learning. I made Youtube videos to watch for myself, not to show others. I sort of used them as memories. Now? All gone. say bye to your accounts and videos because all of that will be deleted. I can understand some of the more harmful social media sites, but i feel like the Australian Government shouldn't be dipping their toes in this water. LETS GET RID OF THE BAN!
