UK Considers Banning Social Media For Under-16s

UK politicians are debating implementing an Australia-style ban on social media for under-16s after Australia enacted such a law in December 2025. The Australian policy requires platforms like TikTok, Meta and X to block under-16 accounts or face fines up to $49.5 million AUD; a YouGov poll finds about 75% UK public support. Experts say bans may help but require layered measures addressing platform design, limits, and support services.
