"Starmer emphasized the need to address addictive features in social media, stating, 'I am determined to do more to tackle these issues and will announce more on this tomorrow.'"
"The government is facing pressure as the House of Lords voted to insert a clause for a social media ban for under-16s, which aligns closely with the government's existing consultation efforts."
Keir Starmer is in Helsinki for a Joint Expeditionary Force meeting. The UK government is preparing for the Easter recess, with 24 written ministerial statements expected. The House of Lords has voted to include a clause for an Australian-style social media ban for under-16s in a bill. The government is already consulting on this issue. Starmer opposes a full ban, advocating for alternative solutions to tackle social media addiction, with further announcements expected soon.
