"The breakthrough came on Tuesday when ministers pledged to implement social media curbs for those under 16, irrespective of the ongoing public consultation."
"Lord Nash told the upper chamber: 'I thank the Government for their active engagement in the matter of social media, albeit rather last minute, and for making a binding commitment to impose some form of age or functionality restrictions for children under 16.'"
The Independent focuses on critical issues like reproductive rights and climate change while ensuring accessible journalism without paywalls. A recent breakthrough in the UK Parliament resolved a deadlock regarding the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which addresses harmful online content for under-16s. The government committed to implementing social media restrictions for this age group, a move welcomed by Lord Nash, who highlighted the importance of addressing addictive features and harmful algorithms in digital content for children.
