Over the past few months Kanishka Narayan MP travelled across the UK, listening to parents, teachers and young people about life online. Their voices helped shape our action: a ban on social media platforms offering services to under-16s, and stronger protections for 16 and 17-year-olds online. We’re doing all we can to give our children their childhood back.

I didn’t vote for the social media ban; the real issue has always been tech companies allowing harmful behaviour to run rampant on their platforms. But with the ban in place, the Govt mustn’t forget to ensure social media platforms also clean up their act. #auspol #politas

Australian PM Anthony Albanese: "We're banning social media for under-16s to keep them safe online." No, you're banning social media for under-16s so EVERYBODY has to verify their age and identity (to prove they're over 16), enabling you impose digital ID under the guise of "keeping children safe".

I’m sick and tired of Keir Starmer’s gimmicks and half measures. The Government should bring in a ban on social media for under-16s. Only the Conservatives have a plan to help parents protect their children.

🚨Keir Starmer just announced a ban on social media for under-16s. While kids lose their childhoods to grooming gangs, open borders, and two-tier policing, this guy wants to "give childhood back" by controlling the internet. Funny how it doesn't apply to Bluesky though. This isn't protection — it's the backdoor to digital ID and surveillance for everyone. Parents, not bureaucrats, should decide. Trump would tell Big Tech and Big Government to stay out of our lives. Wake up, UK. Keir Starmer What's your response to this......??👀 Drop your thoughts below👇!
