PM: Full ban is the right choice
Western Daily Press
|June 16, 2026
A BAN on under-16s using social media will give youngsters back their childhood, Sir Keir Starmer said.
The Prime Minister, pictured, announced the ban in response to concerns social media is unsafe, making children miserable and could cause lasting damage to their mental health.
He acknowledged some youngsters would try to find their way around a ban but said he would not compromise on the “safety and happiness of our children”.
The restrictions, set to be passed by Christmas and in place by spring next year, will leave technology firms, rather than children, liable for enforcement action if they fail to comply.
There will also be measures to prevent children from chatting with adults on gaming and livestreaming platforms.
The Government is also looking at potential overnight curfews and breaks in infinite scrolling for under-18s, with more details expected next month.
