Tomorrow d day, well tonight really midnight tonight, the social media band kicks in, So the likes of Instagram, Facebook, you know, snapchat, whatever it is, whatever the social platform under sixteens will be banned. And the PM is actually getting on the front foot. So tomorrow when the kids get to school, there'll be a video waiting for them from our Prime minister.
It's a Prime minister here, and I want to speak to you directly about something very important. From December ten, if you're under sixteen, you're no longer allowed to have a social media account. You'll know better than anyone what it's like growing up with algorithms, endless speeds and the pressure that can come with that.
Good on him.
Yeah, I agree.
I'm not a parent, but and I'm not a kid under sixteen, but god, I'm glad I grew up in an era where we didn't have social media as kids. Hopefully this helps kids be kids again. Rights, I think.
I think there's a big portion of kids that are looking forward to it. Us chatting with some parents last night at basketball training, and one of them has a teenage daughter who they're debating whether to give her a phone, give her an account, and stuff, and the problem they did because the problem was all her friends had one, so then she's stuck being the one out.
Well, that's the other thing, because it's the pressure from kids.
I had friends who had their kid had his phone taken off him, and the dad said to me the other day, I mean the pressure from his mate.
Ye, pasting a cop for not having a bone. Yes, was awful. So you're all in this together.
Kids nice to each other because I know there will be a lot of kids listening to these who were dreading it.
Of course, but don't don't.
Just give it a chance, give it a shot. It'll be frustrating, it's not going to be perfect. You're going to reach for it occasionally because we all do it right, becomes a bit of a habit. It'll take some time to get used to please kids. Give it a shot.
So on a more macro level, the big social networks, if you like, can be fined tens of millions of dollars if they're not enforcing this. But jace to you a question, because as of tomorrow you're going to have to enforce it. On a more micro level, yeah, really you are, because they are kids on social.
No they're not on social but YouTube's going to be the big one. Now here's the thing.
There are I mean, without you know, throwing a cheap code the kids ways, there will be workarounds like let's not kid ourselves there were There will be ways to get still to still try and infiltrate the system, which is where parents will need to step up.
It's parents have to police it to one hundred percent.
But I think it's just like you say, if I had a beer this afternoon at home, right, my kids aren't going to reach for the beer and take a sip because they.
Know they're not allowed.
They're just not allowed. Yeah, of course, And it's just you know, and it won't be bloody easy. Trust me. There'll be days where I know my kids will reach them try and load up YouTube.
Well it's sort of under parental control though, because there are things on YouTube that kids watch which are great or they're interesting.
There'll be allowed YouTube kids, YouTube kids is still you.
Have to police how much as a parent if you can't have the government just parenting kids, so you have to say, all right, well I'm going to allow you to do that at dinner.
Most TVs now you can put pink codes on the apps.
So just on that point quickly, YouTube kids, can you still search for something like mister Beast? Yeah, like appropriate and stuff, and so it goes through the YouTube filter? Yeah, right, okay, And.
To be honest, I'll be there's videos that slipped through the filter of course.
Yeah, but you've got a parent as well, exactly.
And like we said, this isn't going to be a perfect situation, but it's better than not doing something.
Well, good luck kids, because I know it will be hard for a lot of kids as well that are like it becomes it becomes habit.
Do you know what my bigger concern is people like Clint still on Snapchat?
Well I was going to say Snapchat is still okay, No, no, it's on the list so the kids, Yeah, fair enough.
But what concerns me is you're a grown you're a grown manchat It's a good question, who are you sending a lot of people sort of like chat vice, like you.
Send a naughty no no, no no, no, naughty picks, no, naughty picks. Rangers no, not no, not strangers just on Snapchat?
Have you got middle aged men still?
Yeah? I do?
Have you heard them? Fact?
In fact, a leading horse trainer in this town, Wayne Hawks. He uses it and he sends me sort of like you listen to the show, send me feedback about the show, send me I know, I know.
I isn't Snapchat just where you put photos with funny fields or have I.
Yeah, I think it's evolved since since that. Yeah, but I think I don't think there is also an element.
Of, you know, well, it's good that the kids are getting off of them.
I think too. Dare I say you'd prosbably it just sort of sits dormant in there. To be honest, it does not mate. You take photos all the time, You're just going to send it all snapchat. Someone would you say Clint's probably the oldest person in Snapchat.
I have no idea. I'm not. I don't know if people are getting around using it. I guess they are. Thirteen twenty four you just said, helld tea, he be older than me. It's going to be thrilled.
