Dozens of Labour MPs sign letter urging Australia-style social media ban
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"It asks Sir Keir Starmer to implement a blanket ban on social media platforms for children under 16, following Australia's law which came into effect in December. "Across our constituencies, we hear the same message: children are anxious, unhappy and unable to focus on learning, it reads. They are not building the social skills needed to thrive, nor having the experience that will prepare them for adulthood.""
The Independent covers a wide range of issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and emphasizes parsing facts from messaging. Donations fund reporters on the ground to speak to both sides of stories and support free access to reporting without paywalls. More than 60 Labour MPs signed an open letter urging the prime minister to back an Australia-style social media ban for under-16s to protect young people from addictive, unregulated platforms, naming signatories including Helen Hayes, Vicky Foxcroft and Catherine McKinnell and warning Britain risks being left behind if no action is taken.
