Right now, Tiktok is awash with videos of how to get around the social media ban for under 16s, which is due to come into effect in a week.

At the same time, fringe apps like Yope are rocketing up the Apple charts, as teenagers plan where they’ll go when the major platforms boot them off. 

There’s also a court case underway, challenging the government on whether the ban is even legal.

Today, associate editor at Crikey, Cam Wilson, on who is behind the lawsuit, whether they’ll win, and how this ban could change the country.
