UK Won't Ban Social Media for Kids, Unlike Australia
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Britains Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, opposes Australias social media ban for children under sixteen, deeming it unenforceable. Despite concerns over excessive online time and content, she questions the practicality of prosecuting young users. UK children aged eight to fourteen spend nearly three hours online daily, with teenagers averaging four hours. Officials note late-night online activity, particularly among younger children. While social media aids connection and well-being, some children report brain rot from endless scrolling. Nandy may reconsider if the Australian ban proves effective and beneficial to young people.
