Minister to meet with big tech companies this week ahead of under-16 social media ban

The communications minister, Anika Wells, will meet with social media companies, including Meta, Snapchat, YouTube and TikTok, today as the clock winds down on implementing a social media ban for under-16s.

In two months our world-leading social media minimum age laws will give children a reprieve from the persuasive pull of platforms and those platforms must work closely with eSafety to ensure their systems comply with the law.

There’s a place for social media, but there’s not a place for predatory algorithms damaging children.
