Kiran Stacey and Peter Walker , The Guardian; Social media firms hit back as Starmer announces ban for under-16s in UK
"Britain’s plans to ban social media for under-16s will push teenagers towards more harmful platforms, the world’s biggest technology companies have said as ministers push to enact the new restrictions by next spring.
Meta, YouTube and Snapchat have all criticised the ban, which was announced by Keir Starmer on Monday and would stop younger teenagers from using their services."
