British opposition leader Keir Starmer has unveiled plans to ban children under the age of 16 from using a range of social media apps, citing concerns over the impact of online platforms on young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
The proposed ban, announced by Starmer, aims to protect minors from the potential harms of social media, including cyberbullying, online harassment, and exposure to inappropriate content.
Starmer’s announcement comes as part of a broader effort to regulate the tech industry and ensure that social media companies prioritize the safety and wellbeing of their users, particularly children and vulnerable individuals.
