UK prime minister likely to enact stricter teen social media ban than Australia

The UK prime minister is expected to propose a new ban on teen social media use. The proposed measures would exceed the restrictions already in place in Australia. Officials cite concerns about mental health and online safety for minors. The policy could limit access to platforms for users under a certain age. Lawmakers are preparing to debate the legislation in Parliament. Critics argue the ban may infringe on freedom of expression. Supporters claim it will protect young people from harmful content. The proposal is set to be announced in the coming weeks.
