UK PM Considers Social Media Ban for Under-16s

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has shifted his position and is now open to banning social media for young people. He told Labour MPs he is alarmed by reports of young children spending hours on screens. Starmer said he is increasingly worried about the damage social media does to under-16s. The potential policy would follow an Australian-style ban. Australia is currently considering laws to block access for children under 16. Starmer's comments signal a major change in his approach to the issue of children's screen time.
