Meta's Global Head of Safety is calling a social media ban a bit of a fool's errand. 

More than five million social media accounts have been deactivated or restricted in Australia since its world-first ban for under 16s took effect in December. 

Our Government's been mulling its own ban, with a parliamentary select committee investigating the issue. 

Meta's Global Head of Safety Antigone Davis told Mike Hosking parental controls are the better approach. 

She says teens will find a way around a ban, as you can't restrict the whole internet.
