Kids Unplugged... From Social Media

Is it time to unplug children's access to social media? Recently, Suhakam commissioner Prof Datuk Noor Aziah Mohd Awal has called for age restriction of social media for those aged 16 and below. We speak to Associate Professor Dr Sabariah Mohamed Salleh on the pros and cons of enforcing such an age limit, and we hear from listeners about how parents can manage their children's social media usage.
