British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced a ban on social media for under-16s, with enforcement to rely on age-verification technology that the regulator Ofcom has been tasked with rapidly assessing.
Critics including YouTube have warned that blanket bans could push young people towards less safe, unregulated services, while child safety organisations say the current age-checking systems remain far from reliable.
Technology reporter Will Guyatt in London says parents will also need to change their behaviour.

The United States and Iran have announced an agreement to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with US President Donald Trump declaring on Truth Social that the deal is complete.
Israel has yet to publicly respond to the agreement, but journalists close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have already described it as a disaster, according to reports.
President Trump criticised Israeli strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs on Saturday, saying they should not have happened on what he called a special day for the deal.
Gideon Rachman, chief foreign affairs columnist at the Financial Times, says the biggest threat to the agreement may come from a resumption of fighting in Lebanon.

British armed forces have seized a sanctioned Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in the English Channel — the first time the United Kingdom has led such an operation to disrupt the oil revenue funding Russia's war in Ukraine.
Royal Marines and National Crime Agency officers boarded the Smyrtos, a tanker carrying more than a hundred thousand tonnes of Russian crude, in a six-hour operation on Sunday. The vessel is now anchored off the Dorset coast.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says he personally ordered the interception, but the opposition has questioned why dozens of shadow fleet vessels were allowed to pass through British waters in recent months.
