The UK government has announced that under-16s will be banned from major social media platforms, including TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram. This ban is part of a plan to protect young people's wellbeing online. The government says it's the right choice to keep children safe and happy. Some messaging services like WhatsApp won't be part of the ban. The ban will also include rules to stop strangers from contacting children under 16 on gaming platforms.
