ARCHBISHOP Charles Jason Gordon is calling for laws to protect children from the dangers of social media saying that certain online platforms were more addictive than alcohol.
Speaking at a press conference on January 19, Gordon said even the owners of online platforms have acknowledged that social media was set up in a way as to make addicts out of users.
He called on the government to consider recent laws passed and implemented in Australia which bans access to social media to children under the age of 16.
