UK Considers Social Media Ban for Kids Under 16

UK Considers Social Media Ban for Kids Under 16

The UK is thinking about stopping kids under 16 from using social media, like Facebook and TikTok.

This idea is similar to a law in Australia.

Some people think it's a good way to keep kids safe from bad stuff online.

Others worry it might push kids to use even worse platforms.

The UK government is watching how Australia's law works before making a decision.

They also want to make sure kids can still use the internet safely without seeing harmful things.

A lot of parents and kids have signed a petition asking for this change.
