10:17 A teenage social media star on Australia's plan to ban social media for under-16s
Last week the Australian government announced it would be banning under-16s from social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok and Instagram.
While there has been both support and opposition to the idea from adults, there hasn't been a lot of coverage of what young people think about it.
Leo Puglisi started his online news channel 6 News at the age of 11, and now has an online audience in the tens of thousands, interviewing juggernauts like Australian prime ministers Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese.
