Kenny and Macca are joined live on air by Cam Wilson is Crikey’s associate editor. He previously worked as a reporter at the ABC, BuzzFeed, Business Insider and Gizmodo. He primarily covers internet culture and tech in Australia.

How the gov’s faring with implementing social media ban, how tech giants are responding and what will success actually look like?

“Teenagers are already preparing to thwart Australia’s teen social media ban, using platforms like TikTok to share ideas about how to trick platforms into letting them stay and sourcing alternative apps.

With two months to go until the government’s “social media minimum age” or “delay” policy set to come into effect, teenagers are already making moves, including claiming their accounts are actually being run by their parents, to stay on the platforms — despite a requirement that companies take “reasonable steps” to restrict access”.
