UK to Announce Social Media Ban for Teens This Week, Nandy Says

UK to Announce Social Media Ban for Teens This Week, Nandy Says A UK ban on under-16s using social media set to be unveiled this week is not “a silver bullet” but will have “a significant role to play” in keeping children safe, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told Sky News on Sunday. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will lay out the restrictions following a government consultation that Nandy said showed the “vast majority” wanted to see the ban enforced, including “many young people themselves,” she said. When that consultation was launched, it was a question “of how we better protect young people, not if,” Nandy said.
