TL;DR

Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to unveil an Australia-style plan to ban under-16s from major social platforms (TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, and more), stop livestreams on so-called safer sites, and restrict talking to strangers on gaming apps, with curfews for older teens under consideration; full details will be announced next month after a public consultation showed broad support for online-safety measures.
