Sydney: An Australian teenage news boss says landmark legislation barring under-16s from social media is a "really bad idea" that will stifle young people's creativity.
Leo Puglisi, 17, is uniquely placed to judge the new law -- he founded what claims to be the only national news streaming platform run by teens.
Based in his bedroom at his parent's house in Melbourne, Puglisi began uploading local news videos to YouTube channel 6 News in 2019.
Fast forward five years, the channel now broadcasts hourly bulletin and boasts 29,600 subscribers, with another 40,700 on X.
He has a team of 10 reporters, whose ages range from 15 to their late teens.
