There is instant nodding in agreement, as well as instant shaking of the head in fundamental disagreement. Which side are you on? - Who should be deciding whether kids and and what age should be using social media? Kids themselves? Parents? Companies providing apps? Government? - France passed legislation declaring any child under 15 must obtain permission from a parent or guardian to engage on social media. France is attempting to persuade all E.U. Nations to follow its lead.  Guest: David Fraser. One of Canada's foremost privacy lawyers, international internet law expert, and founder of the Canadian Privacy Law Blog.
