⚡🇬🇧 NEW - The UK government is considering new rules on social media for children under 16.
Some people in the House of Lords want a strict ban, saying it should start in 12 months, but the government wants more time and could take up to 3 years.
Australia introduced a ban for under-16s in December 2025, but it has not worked well. Surveys show more than 60% of teens aged 12 to 15 still use the main platforms.
A full ban would require age checks and ID verification for everyone online, and we know how many data breaches occur these days.
As I always said parental controls are a better way, the tools let parents set time limits, block certain apps or features and control children's activities.
