Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what regulatory measures her Department is taking against social media platforms whose algorithms encourages use on their platforms by children during term time.

The government is taking decisive action to support healthier online experiences for children. This includes our intention to restrict social media companies from offering their services to under-16s. We will also introduce protections for 16- and 17-year-olds on social media, including restricting autoplay, personalised feeds and overnight restrictions by default, to support young people to manage their time online.
