Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Allison Ferns on BBC Radio Surrey & Sussex to discuss the announcement by the UK government of a ban on social media for under 16s. How will this be implemented, and how effective can it be? As part of this legislation there's also talk of banning VPNs, which are an essential security measure for many people. Is this over reach and using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut?

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Nick Abbot on LBC Radio to discuss the UK government's under 16s social media ban, along with other plans such as banning messaging that disappears. Is implicating the new legislation realistic and could it even jeopardise our security with companies requiring our information and the possibility of a ban even on VPNs? Australia has already introduced far less broad reaching restrictions, but will they work here or are they a step too far?
