The UK government is actively considering new regulations to address addictive features on social media platforms. This initiative comes in response to a recent court ruling in the United States that held companies like Meta and YouTube responsible for harm caused to users.
Among the proposals under discussion is the potential prohibition of social media access for individuals under the age of 16. The UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has expressed a strong interest in tackling these issues and is working to implement measures that would curb the addictive nature of social media applications.
