Standing here, you get a sense of the size of this country.
You know, it took hours to drive to this farm.
The driveway itself just to get to the farmhouse was about 20 kilometres.
I use Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, and basically to just...
Keep up with my friends, share what I'm doing in my day-to-day life, especially on the holidays.
My closest friend is 30km away, but all my other friends would be over 100km away.
It's very important for me to keep up with them, stay in contact with them.
Taking away our socials is just taking away how we talk to each other.
I do think that it is a bit of government overstepping.
We might be incredibly geographically isolated but we're definitely not digitally illiterate.
What just happened, Grace?
I just got banned off Instagram.
I was just angry for about 10 minutes.
And now, yeah, just denial and grief has set in.
But it's fine because Snapchat and TikTok have not been banned yet, so.
It began as things like messaging, text messages, but then moved on to things like TikTok and Snapchat and Instagram.
Whilst the technology was developing, she was developing and becoming more and more engaged in that digital world.
Why do you think this ban is so important?
Because children across our world are enduring this.
Because these are methods of harm.
