Britain proposes social media ban for kids

The United Kingdom announced its intention to implement a comprehensive ban on the use of social media platforms by children under the age of 16, aiming to enhance their safety and reduce the negative impacts of digital platforms, with exceptions for messaging apps like WhatsApp and Signal. The ban is expected to come into effect early next year and will include platforms such as Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Additionally, it will impose restrictions on emotionally charged chatbots and introduce a nightly website ban, along with verification procedures to confirm users’ ages. This move is the latest in Britain’s efforts to regulate children’s internet use, following Australia’s similar ban on social media platforms for children since December 2025, with other countries also considering similar legislation.
