The United Kingdom is poised to join a growing international movement aimed at restricting social media access for children under the age of 16. This initiative follows Australia’s recent legislation that bans minors from using certain platforms. Reports indicate that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to announce measures targeting what the government labels 'harmful social media platforms,' while still allowing access to safer online services. This decision comes after Starmer's discussions with families affected by online dangers and a review of evidence from Australia. Other countries, including Spain, France, Denmark, and Malaysia, are also considering or have implemented stricter regulations to safeguard children online. Starmer’s administration is prepared to confront major tech companies to ensure the protection of young users. Meanwhile, experts in India are urging the government to adopt similar restrictions, emphasizing the need for a robust age verification system, potentially through a unique digital ID, to mitigate children's exposure to harmful content.
