UK police chiefs, including Graeme Biggar from the National Crime Agency (NCA), are advocating for a ban on social media, AI, and gaming platforms that do not disable high-risk features for children under 16. This call comes amid alarming statistics, with the NCA reporting 92,000 potential child sexual abuse incidents online in 2025, a number that continues to rise. The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) has identified six dangerous features that should be absent in apps used by children, including unrestricted contact from unknown adults and algorithms that promote harmful content. The government supports measures to enhance online safety, considering options such as age limits and outright bans on dangerous platforms. However, police officials criticize the tech industry's slow response to these issues, describing the current online landscape as a 'wild west' where regulations lag behind technological advancements. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the impact of end-to-end encryption on child safety, as it may obstruct investigations into online grooming and abuse. The NCA and NPCC are urging for stronger legislation and enforcement to protect children in the digital space.
