LONDON, June 15 : British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday he would ban social media sites for all under-16s, saying it was needed to protect the wellbeing of children.

While the ban will not be easy, the UK government has agency in pushing back against the power of big technology companies, said Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
