The UK is considering a ban on social media for children under the age of 16, following in the footsteps of Australia. The UK government is citing concerns over the impact of social media on children’s mental health and safety as the reason for this potential ban. If implemented, the ban would restrict access to social media platforms for children under 16. This move could force social media companies to take more responsibility for ensuring the safety of children on their platforms. The UK’s consideration of this ban is seen as a result of growing concerns over the effects of social media on children.
