Government Pledges Social Media Age Restrictions for Under-16s in UK

The UK government has committed to imposing age or functionality restrictions on social media for children under 16, following a standoff with the House of Lords over the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. Education Minister Olivia Bailey confirmed the legal commitment while MPs backed the motion 272-64. The bill returns to the Lords for final consideration before royal assent, with regulations expected within 12 months and potentially before year-end.

UK government commits to social media age restrictions for under-16s

The UK government has committed to imposing age or functionality restrictions on social media for children under 16, following a House of Lords vote of 316 to 165 in favour of an outright ban. Education minister Olivia Bailey told MPs the government will introduce regulations requiring the secretary of state to act after a consultation concludes, rather than may act. The Lords had supported the ban for the fourth time, with MPs previously overturning it three times. The UK would follow Australia's lead, while France and Spain consider similar measures.
