UK to Ban Social Media Access for Children Under 16

This forthcoming policy will include popular services such as TikTok and Instagram. The UK's decision to restrict youth access mirrors a similar measure previously adopted by Australia.
The United Kingdom is poised to introduce a new policy that will ban children under the age of 16 from accessing social media platforms. This initiative targets a range of services, specifically naming TikTok and Instagram among other social media sites.
