Maggie Perry

Maggie Perry, an election reporter for 6 News, discusses Australia’s proposed ban on social media for youths under 16. She highlights the ban's potential to isolate young people, especially queer youth, who rely on social media for support. Maggie critiques the government's vague proposals, stressing the need for clearer guidelines. She argues that educating teens about safe social media use would be more effective than outright bans, raising important questions about youth engagement and the role of digital platforms in their lives.
