Children in Australia tell UK kids how a social media ban has affected them

The UK government has spent the last 12 weeks looking at whether there should be a ban or new restrictions on social media for children.

And earlier this week, the online safety minister joined us on the Newsround sofa to answer your questions about a possible ban on social media for under-16s.

Now we have teamed up with Australian children's programme, Behind The News, to explore what happens when a ban becomes reality.

Six months after restrictions were introduced in Australia, teenagers in Adelaide spoke to children in Greater Manchester about how the ban has changed life online and offline.
