As someone who has campaigned for additional measures to protect young people on social media, I am delighted that the Government has listened and has announced these restrictions.
I have been really worried about the impact of social media use on young people’s mental health, concentration, and wellbeing. It’s a huge issue and something that hundreds of local parents have contacted me about.
This is a big step forward and blocking social media platforms from offering services to under 16s is the right thing to do in protecting our children and helping parents who just want to do their best for their kids.
