Labor's social media ban is dangerous for queer youth

Lilah RPG actually talks to youth and youth organisations about why the proposed ban doesn't work

The Albanese Labor government's plan to ban social media for people under the age of 16 has been slammed by many internet experts and youth organisations who all agree that the ban will not work and it's in fact a smokescreen for the real issues that need to be addressed.

Yet Labour is doing it anyway, with the support of the Liberals - all in the name of protecting young people, which apparently doesn't include queer youth.
