Preventing Australian teenagers from accessing YouTube would be "a ridiculous step" and the federal government should outline which platforms would fall under a social media ban for children, an inquiry has heard.
The Social Media and Australian Society inquiry on Wednesday heard evidence from 6 News Australia's 16-year-old founder Leonardo Puglisi, who warned that children would seek to evade any technological restrictions placed on them.
The inquiry has previously heard evidence from parent groups urging the government to ban all children from social media and mental health organisations who warn a blanket ban would cause harm.
