On December 10th, legislation restricting access to social media for young people under the age of 16 will come into force. The band is incredibly controversial and problematic and the eSafety commission in Australia has commissioned an evaluation led by Stanford University to try to tease out its impact and effect over the next two years. I have been asked to be on the International advisory committee supporting this evaluation. I am looking forward to this challenge and hope to be able to play a part in the public debate surrounding the implementation of the legislation as well as understanding of its impact and effect
