9.2
The UK government is proposing to ban social media access for people under 16, potentially by 2026, and to extend restrictions to AI-powered chatbots and time limits on endless-scrolling apps. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office said urgent legislation begins Feb. 16 with possible use of Henry VIII powers to fast-track Law on Internet Security amendments, citing child safety and illegal-content controls.
