The UK government is considering a social media ban for under-16s to improve online safety, says Technology Secretary Peter Kyle.

He also plans to ensure the Online Safety Act (OSA) is enforced to hold tech firms accountable for protecting children from harmful content.

The OSA requires companies to verify user ages and prioritize safety, with large fines for non-compliance.
