Season 2025 Episode 8056 | 18m 09s

The world's first social media ban for under-16s has taken effect in Australia, and not everyone is happy. Tech company Reddit filed a lawsuit against the government on Friday, arguing that the law is a threat to free speech. Steve Huffman, CEO and co-founder of Reddit, joins the show to discuss why he believes his platform should be exempt from the ban.
