'Very alarming': Meta dragged over the coals for children's safety nets

Meta has been dragged over the coals for “very alarming” revelations during a US Senate hearing, says former Australian Special Forces commando Wes Hennessey. “Safety catch-nets for our children that we thought were within the apps were clearly not,” he told Sky News host Erin Molan. Mr Hennessey’s comments come as Florida looks at introducing a new law to ban social media for users under 16 years old. “Parenting isn’t parenting anymore so we can’t rely on parents,” he said “We certainly can’t rely on Meta to provide the safety catch-net appropriate to protect our children.”
