 Left wing Australian govt looking to ban children from social media. 

This is a classic case of "there oughta be a law". Yes there may be some harm from social media, but that is a role for parents to moderate and control for their children. 

It should not be the role of the state to implement some ham fisted policy that also stops children using internet social media in healthy and beneficial ways. 

It also represents an unethical imposition onto private companies and software developers who will effectively be coerced to do the state's bidding.
