UK Prime Minister to Announce New Social Media Restrictions for Children

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is set to announce significant changes to social media restrictions for children, potentially including bans on certain platforms for under-16s and curfews for older teens. The move follows a government consultation where a majority supported a ban, though some campaigners and the father of Molly Russell have expressed concerns about the effectiveness and potential negative consequences of such measures.

UK Government to Impose Social Media Restrictions on Children Under 16

The UK government will introduce age or functionality restrictions on social media for children under 16, following a consultation process. Education secretary Bridget Phillipson expressed openness about the specific form of restrictions while emphasizing the need to protect young people from harmful online content and addictive features. The announcement came after pressure from the House of Lords, led by former education minister John Nash, with peers having voted four times for an outright ban.

UK to Introduce Social Media Restrictions for Under-16s After Lords Vote

The UK government will introduce restrictions on social media for children under 16 after the House of Lords voted 316-165 in favour of an outright ban. Education minister Olivia Bailey confirmed ministers will impose "some form of age or functionality restrictions" following the conclusion of a government consultation. The move follows the fourth time Lords backed such a proposal, with the government now committing to a statutory requirement that the secretary of state must act after consultation.

Peers to vote on government bid to delay children's social media restrictions by up to three years

Peers will vote Monday on a government amendment that could delay action on children's social media access for up to three years, sparking backlash from campaigners. The amendment to the children's wellbeing and schools bill would allow ministers to wait before introducing restrictions, potentially limiting action to parental controls rather than sweeping measures. Tory peer John Nash has tabled an alternative amendment forcing the government to raise the minimum age for social media to 16 within 12 months, which peers have already backed three times by a 126-vote margin. With parliament prorogation expected next week, Monday's vote is the last opportunity to force the issue.
