TikTok and YouTube will be banned for kids under 16 in Britain, says PM Starmer

# Britain Plans to Ban Kids Under 16 From TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat Britain's Prime Minister has announced that children under 16 will be banned from using popular social media apps like TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat starting early next year, citing concerns that these platforms make young people unhappy and cause excessive screen time. Social media companies that don't enforce the age restriction could face hefty fines, though the government acknowledges some teenagers will likely find ways around the ban. The U.K. is following similar moves by Australia, Canada, and several other countries that have already passed or are considering age-based restrictions on social media.
