UK social media ban for under-16s: What happens to kids if Britain takes ‘drastic’ measures?
Britain is considering stringent social media controls for minors, potentially banning under-16s from platforms like TikTok and Snapchat.
Driven by concerns over mental health, sleep, and safety, the government is exploring age verification, screen time limits, and curfews.
This move follows widespread public consultation and aims to protect young people from harmful online content and addictive features.
