LONDON — When U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that his government would ban social media for under-16s on Monday morning, the Downing Street press room erupted into a round of applause.
“I think most parents will welcome this action,” Starmer said. “They will welcome a government that stands by them, that supports them to do the best for their children, and that fights for their happiness and safety against the most powerful companies in the world.”
Among those whooping and cheering were ex-Love Island personality Georgia Harrison — who described the plans as “absolutely amazing” — and more than a dozen parents from Smartphone Free Childhood.
