Ahead of an expected ban or restrictions on certain social media use for children, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says the government must end what he describes as a “system failing our kids.” The statement follows a public consultation on the proposal, which closed on 26 May. The consultation receives around 116,000 responses, described by the outlets as the second-largest in history. The reporting indicates that the consultation’s results will inform the next steps in the government’s approach to child safety online, including potential regulatory changes affecting access to social media platforms. While the articles reference an expected ban, they do not provide details in the excerpts supplied about the scope of the restriction, the age limits, or the enforcement mechanism. Overall, the sources align on Starmer’s commitment to change, the timing of the consultation, the number of responses, and the characterization of the consultation’s volume as unusually high compared with other exercises.
