NZ is now several steps behind every comparable jurisdiction on social media regulation.
We don’t need blanket bans for under-16s. We need:
• a regulator
• enforceable duties of care
• penalties for platforms who ignore NZ law
Delay has gendered consequences.

#NZPol Just vote Green. This is such bullshit.
Things that Labour will say 'yes' to:
1. We need 120,000 people unemployed (at least) to stop wages going up by too much.
2. Banks can extract $8bn a year in profits, because that's the price we should pay.
3. The market will eventually deliver affordable energy / food / rent - be patient comrades.
