Oliver Peterson: Australian correspondent on the EU looking to follow Australia's lead on teen social media ban - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The European Commission is looking into introducing age restrictions for social media use.

This follows Australia's example, where teenagers under 16 are set to be banned from social media - with these new rules set to take effect later in the year.

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says the EU will be observing the impact of Australia's ban to influence their own changes.
