Abstract
Australia’s ban of social media accounts for children under 16 has re-ignited the same debate in the UK, with the Lords voting in favour of a similar policy. But Sonia Livingstone argues that caution and more evidence is needed before making such a bold move, not least giving the children that such a ban would affect a voice on the matter.
