Drinking alcohol is bad for the health of teenagers. Social media is fine. The two aren’t comparable.

And they all have official diaries and secretaries, so there’s no way they don’t know. We pay for this bloke’s staff and he still lies to us.

But it’s nothing like that. It’s “I’m taking this fun thing that’s been part of our culture for while now away because other people can’t behave”.
And it just won’t work, whatever abuse people are afraid of will continue on different platforms that parents don’t know about.

And we govern many industries. Why not govern social media, instead of governing teenagers?

They like social media. Now they can’t use it because some bloke in Canberra said so. How do you reckon they see it?
