The UK government is poised to announce new measures aimed at protecting children online, as ministers evaluate the effects of Australia's pioneering social media prohibition for individuals under 16 years old, which has been in effect for half a year.
We are reaching out to parents and carers to gather their perspectives on a possible social media ban or alternative restrictions. Would you endorse limitations on children's access to social media platforms? How worried are you about your child's engagement with social media, gaming environments, or messaging applications? What influence have these technologies had on your child and your family's daily life?
