The UK minister says technology companies have had “more than enough time” to act on concerns about social media safety for teenagers ahead of planned government measures. Reporting across outlets indicates the government is preparing an announcement that includes a social media curfew for teens and restrictions involving chatbots, framed as part of wider steps to reduce risks to children online. One outlet reports the minister’s position that firms were given ample opportunity to implement safeguards, and other reporting describes additional proposed rules covering how children access or handle sensitive content, including plans aimed at stopping children from taking, sharing, or viewing nude images. Separate coverage also refers to intentions to restrict under-16s from certain “high risk” social media applications. The BBC also highlights criticism from Molly Russell’s father, who argues that moving quickly on social media restrictions is wrong, describing the approach as “deplorable.” Overall, the reports describe a government push for new online protections for minors, with the debate focused on timelines, effectiveness of industry action, and the scope of proposed restrictions.
