IPPR is calling for a blanket social media ban for under-16s to prevent further loss of childhood
Around eight in 10 people support either banning under-16s from social media or forcing social media companies to remove features and content deemed inappropriate for children, according to new polling for the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) conducted by YouGov.
While 44 per cent of the public prefer a ban and 39 per cent prefer tighter regulation, parents of children under 16 included in the poll favour banning social media ban over regulation by 3 to 2 (54 per cent to 36 per cent).
Only 11 per cent of adults, and 7 per cent of parents with children under 16, say social media should not be banned or regulated in this way.
When it comes to deciding which social media platforms are appropriate for children, around half of adults trust parents (51 per cent) or an independent regulator (49 per cent) to make the decision. By contrast, only a fifth trust schools (22 per cent), one in six trust technology companies (16 per cent), and just one in seven trust government ministers (15 per cent).
