Facebook Amber Alerts
This is from the main page for Facebook. Think its a great new initiative for here in NZ
When a child goes missing, a community always wants to come together to help and they often do this on Facebook. We are honored to announce today that in partnership with New Zealand Police, the Facebook AMBER Alert system will now be available in New Zealand as a vital tool to find and return missing children. The Facebook AMBER Alert provides the police with the ability to issue an immediate alert on Facebook with key details about a missing child to people in the specific geographic location. If you see an AMBER Alert in your News Feed, please act and help. #AMBERAlertAU
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
