Starmer warns social media firms
In a high-profile showdown at Number 10, Keir Starmer met with representatives from Meta, TikTok, Google, and X to discuss the growing concerns over addictive algorithms and online safety.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the current state of the industry is putting children at unacceptable risk and that the government is prepared to take legislative action.
While no specific timeline was provided, officials are closely studying Australia's recent implementation of a social media age threshold.
The meeting follows a growing public and parliamentary consensus that voluntary regulation by tech giants has been insufficient to protect young users.
