UK leader to extend teen social media ban
Britain plans to ban under-16s from using certain social media apps, including Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X, with the ban expected to take effect early next year. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced this move, citing concerns over children’s safety from harmful content and excessive screen time, and emphasizing efforts to prevent strangers from contacting children on gaming and livestreaming platforms. The policy follows extensive public input, with over 90% of respondents supporting the ban, and aligns with global efforts to tighten online safety measures for minors.
