UK Bans Social Media For Under 16 Year Olds!

Reuters- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday he would ban social media sites for under-16s.

And impose restrictions on gaming and livestreaming platforms, in some of the world’s most far-reaching online restrictions to date.

The sweeping changes will reflect Britain’s values, helping to protect children online while pushing back against the power of big technology companies, Starmer told a press conference.

“It is clear to me a full ban is the right choice,” he said.

“This will change the conversations that parents have and the expectations of children over time.

It will make a huge difference, it will make our children safer, it will make our children happier, it will give them more time, more security, more freedom to grow up, more opportunity.”
