‘Getting Kids ADDICTED To Social Media Is IMMORAL’ | Keir Starmer Announces Ban For Under-16s

Keir Starmer has announced a social media ban for under-16s, blocking children from apps like TikTok and Snapchat as part of a major online crackdown. The ban is due to start early next year and will be enforced using facial age checks and digital ID systems. Starmer also suggested tighter curbs could be coming for older teenagers, including possible overnight curfews to stop endless late-night scrolling. The move is one of Labour’s biggest interventions yet into children’s online lives and is likely to spark a fierce row over privacy, freedom and how far the state should go.
