Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has, this morning, confirmed that under-16s will be banned from social media as part of a major overhaul of online safety rules for children. New legislation hoped to be in place by Spring 2027

Don't get me wrong I do believe we should protect our children but so much that has been put forward is already a naive attempt to turn back the tide.
