SYDNEY ¨C For Tereza Hussein, a 14-year-old refugee who lives in Darwin, Australia¡¯s planned social media ban would mean losing a direct line to the most important person to her: a grandmother she has never physically met.
¡°It¡¯s the only way I¡¯ve ever connected to my grandma before, over socials,¡± said Hussein, who was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo but lived in a refugee camp in Malawi before settling in Australia when she was 9 years old.
¡°It¡¯s going to have a very big change in my life because it¡¯s going to be hard for me to talk to the people that I¡¯ve left behind,¡± she said.
