PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Minister Dominic Smith share the concerns of Archbishop Charles Jason Gordon about the need to protect children from the dangers of social media.
Persad-Bissessar said government may be willing to consider a social media ban for children under 12 years old.
Smith said the challenge when it comes to social media or technology in general, is how to govern it responsibly.
