After Aus, UK planning social media ban for kids under 16: Report

The UK is considering a possible ban on social media use for children under 16, according to a report. The move follows similar legislation in Australia, which bars under-16s from platforms such as Facebook, X, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok. Reports say Prime Minister Keir Starmer is closely monitoring the Australian policy, despite opposing a blanket ban for children under 16.
