Sir Keir Starmer is expected to announce that the Government is pushing forward with a ban on social media for under-16s.

The UK is expected to go further than a similar ban in Australia, with measures to stop teenagers using certain platforms, as well as curbing the daily usage for 16 and 17-year-olds.

While some details of the policy remain unclear, here’s what to expect from Starmer’s plan which will be announced on Monday.

Ban on social media sites

The UK will follow Australia in banning teenagers under the age of 16 from accessing some of the world’s biggest social media platforms.
