TalkTV host Mark Dolan praises the UK’s announcement of the under-16 social media ban following Australia’s lead. “I think like in Australia it will be a modest success,” Mr Dolan told Sky News host Paul Murray. “I think what’s significant about this move and why I think Australia showed great leadership is that in practical terms it’s not going to be a silver bullet … but what it’s going to do is change cultural attitudes.”
