"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. 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."
"A consultation into new social media protections will launch in March and be guided by what parents and children say they want to see. Ahead of setting out the new plans to prevent harms, Sir Keir warned that no online platform will get a free pass when it comes to children's safety on the internet. He added: Technology is moving really fast, and the law has got to keep up."

The prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, plans to enforce a crackdown on children under 16 using smartphones within months, meeting parents and young people and launching a consultation in March guided by parental and child input. The government warns no online platform will be exempt from children's safety obligations, asserts that law must keep pace with technology, and signals proposals such as banning children from social media and restricting certain features.
