The government aims to introduce new legislation by Christmas 2026, with it expected to be in place by Spring 2027.

The key plans announced this morning are inspired by Australia's recent social media ban for under-16s.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 SUMMARY: The UK's social media ban for children from early 2027:

- "User-to-user" apps where people create, share and interact with content (e.g. TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, X, Facebook) will be banned for under-16s

- WhatsApp, Signal and YouTube Kids will be exempt

- Under-16s will also be banned from livestreaming, messaging strangers on gaming apps like Discord and using disappearing messages

- 16 and 17 year olds will face nightly social media curfews and limits on infinite scrolling with more details next month

- AI "romantic companion" chatbots will be banned for under-18s

- Adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards
