The UK is currently evaluating a proposal to prohibit social media use for anyone under 16, joining global efforts to protect minors online. This potential ban follows a similar move by Australia earlier this year. A live BBC News broadcast on April 22nd at 4:30 pm will explore the issue in depth, featuring direct input from 30 teenagers aged 12 to 18 from Greater Manchester. These young participants will discuss how such a restriction might affect their daily lives, relationships, and access to information.
