Under-16s will be banned from using social media, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced.
Starmer says social media is making children unhappy, making it easier for bullies to abuse children, and is “designed to be addictive”. A ban would give children more time, security, and more freedom to grow up - as well as more opportunities, he adds.
“That is all any parent wants. They want to know that Britain will be better for their children, that they will get a fair chance,” the PM says in a speech in Downing Street.
Starmer adds that the government is “not prepared to compromise” on the safety and happiness of children - and that includes in the regulation and enforcement of this ban. He says the government has listened to and learned from countries like Australia, where a similar ban has already been introduced.
You made a lot of assumptions there and im not interested in explaining myself to someone who lacks the capacity to converse
Those are presumptions, correct ones. Get your head out of the asses of the suits on tv telling you how things are, it’s not that way, it’s the other way. You might already know that and are playing us on here though. Either way, you are the problem, trusting the wrong people, or worse.
Presumptions imply evidence, of which you have none to support your claims. But the confidence speaks volumes.
