    Harriet Taylor and Numi Gildert dive into their favourite tech headlines of the week;

    1) Following in the footsteps of Australia, the UK Government has said they are considering banning social media in the UK for under sixteens to keep young people safe online - but how will this be enforced, and is it the right thing to?

    2) In similar news, Roblox has announced it will block under-13s from messaging others as part of new efforts to safeguard children; but how will platforms and games conduct reliable age verification?
