12th December 2025 - Under 16 Social Media Bans and Gadget Reviews on LBC

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull to discuss Australia's introduction of new laws banning access to several social media sites by under 16s. With the UK already implementing similar laws to curb access to pornography, how affective can these restrictions be, do they introduce further security risks, and how easily are they circumvented with things like VPNs?

Gadget of the Week goes to;

The Anker SOLIX C200DC Power Bank. This portable power bank has a massive 80,000mAh capacity, can charge up to 5 USB devices simultaneously, has 3 USB-C ports and 2 USB-A ports, one capable of 140watts, and is able to charging two laptops simultaneously. The power bank can be charged via mains, car charger, or even using optional solar panels. Ideal for those who need to recharge their devices on the move or when enjoying the great outdoors. With a 5 year warranty this is one to look out for.
