Mark and Tina Harris say their children’s-themed YouTube channel Lah-Lah would become unviable if the federal government goes ahead with its plan to ban children under the age of 16 from accessing YouTube and other social media platforms. Speaking on the sidelines of the Tech Council of Australia’s National Tech Summit in Melbourne, Government Services Minister Bill Shorten said the government has not yet decided how it will enforce the ban, while he suggested that there could be exemptions to the ban on educational grounds.
