Britain is expected to announce new restrictions on social media use for children under 16 on Monday, according to reports citing Reuters. The measures are expected to target features and products considered too addictive or harmful to young people’s wellbeing online. Officials are expected to outline the scope of the rules, which could include limiting or banning access to certain popular social media platforms and specific functions designed to keep users engaged. The plans are framed as child-safeguarding steps, focusing on reducing potential risks linked to excessive or compulsive use among minors. Details released with the announcement are expected to clarify which platforms or features fall under the restrictions and how enforcement would work. The reporting indicates that the government is preparing to set out concrete guidance rather than general recommendations, although the exact list of affected platforms and features is expected to be confirmed when the policy is formally published.
