White House urges UK not to ban social media for under-16s
The White House has urged the UK not to impose a social media ban for under-16s, arguing that restrictions could place a 'disproportionate' burden on US tech companies. The US government opposes 'prescribed one-size-fits-all government restrictions' and 'blunt regulatory instruments' to address online harms to children.
