What happened: The UK House of Lords has supported a proposal to ban children under 16 from using social media platforms.
Why it matters:
- It aims to protect children from potential online harms and mental health risks.
- Parents, children, and social media companies will be directly affected by the new regulations.
MNN Take: This move reflects growing concerns over children's safety online, with lawmakers seeking to limit early exposure to social media. Details on enforcement and platform responsibilities are still to be clarified.
