Description:

Instagram is making changes to how teenagers use the social media platform, applying limits to the content they see and who can get in touch with them. 

It’s a first for a social media giant as concern grows about the harmful content children are exposed to online. 

The announcement comes as the federal government works on an outright ban of social media for children. 

The precise age limit is still to be settled, South Australia thinks under-14 is appropriate, but any ban is likely to require some form of age verification. 

Today, tech reporter Ange Lavoipierre on what all of us might have to give up to prove our age.
