- The UK government will prohibit under-16s from accessing major social media platforms to shield them from harmful material and excessive screen time.
- This policy follows Australia's precedent and includes multimillion-dollar fines for platforms that fail to enforce age restrictions.
- Further protections will limit stranger interactions on gaming and livestreaming platforms, with possible curfews and breaks in endless scrolling for youths.
- While public support is strong, concerns remain about privacy and users potentially migrating to less secure online environments.
Every parent can see it with their own eyes. Social media is making children unhappy.— Keir Starmer, Britain's Prime Minister, at a news conference announcing government action to protect children online.
