Is Australia’s social media ban for children actually going to help?
Last year, Australia passed a law banning certain social media platforms for children under the age of 16 – the first of its kind in the world.
This week, our hosts move the conversation offline and into real life, pondering the effects of social media and how the Bible can guide us in how to use it.
Professor Andrew Campbell, Chair of the Cyberpsychology Research Group at the University of Sydney, then joins the show to discuss the proposed ban and the potential benefits of social media.
Finally, Michael and Megan discuss appropriations of the 19th-century novel Vanity Fair and wonder how it might have anticipated some of the complexities of social media – two centuries ahead of time!

With All Due Respect is hosted by Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen. It is part of the Undeceptions podcast network.
Less aggro, more conversation.
Is it even possible to have a deep discussion without it descending into chaos? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit think yes, and want to show the rest of us how to do it.
There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible.
