They are debating it, its not quite a law yet.
Also, again, you completely miss the point that it wont stop anyone.
Under 18's (16s in the past) have been banned from buying cigarettes (& Alcohol) for decades, its never stopped them getting either.
I was speaking in the context of social media sites.

If by the use of this term they specifically mean sites like Facebook, Snapchat, etc and not all sites with user to user content, I wonder if there will be more children joining forums such as this one as an alternative??
