Millions of children in the UK will be forced off social media after the government announced it would ban under-16s from accessing a range of platforms.
Apps including TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram will become inaccessible for children, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said.
"We hope to pass regulation before Christmas," he said, with the ban coming into force in spring 2027.
Tech companies including Meta, Snapchat and YouTube warned a blanket ban would move children into more unsafe online environments.
The government is yet to release the full list of platforms affected, but said YouTube, Facebook and X would also be included.
