About this episode
The episode discusses the legal actions against social media companies regarding child addiction and the implications of new laws being proposed in various countries.

On Tuesday, the French Senate will vote to ban under-15s from social media, with other countries making similar plans. Is humanity saved? Or are things more complicated than that?
