The social media ban was among 31 bills to pass the Senate on Friday. 

Professor Rocky Scopelitti, author and futurologist, told Dean Miller on 4BC Afternoons, "This isn't just a social media ban, it's a digital timeout for an entire generation."

Professor Scopelitti told Dean Miller, "I think that's going to set us backwards and create a generation that is going to be digitally behind".
