Description

The House of Lords has again supported a proposal to ban under-16s in the UK from social media platforms.   Speaking on BBC Two’s Politics Live, Conservative peer Lord Nash, who led the calls for a ban, said, “we need to make sure these products are safe before our children use them.”   Non-affiliated peer Baroness Fox disagreed, saying, “I’m not suggesting no intervention, I’m suggesting adults intervening. I’m suggesting the state intervening is dangerous.”    Read more on this story on the BBC News website: https://bbc.in/47lLPhs    For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news     #UKPolitics #BBCNews
