UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he will ban social media sites for under-16s and impose restrictions on gaming and live-streaming platforms, in a fightback against big tech that goes further than any other country.
The sweeping changes will "give kids their childhood back," Starmer told reporters, outlining measures against Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram and other platforms as well as gaming sites that allow strangers to contact children.
"It is clear to me a full ban is the right choice," he said.
