Ministers Accused of Neglecting Child Safety for Social Media Consultation
UK ministers are facing backlash for their social media child safety consultation, accused of prioritizing delay over action. Critics argue the government's justifications for children's online access are weak, citing risks of exploitation and violence over trivial pursuits like dance videos. Bereaved parents and experts are demanding immediate legislative measures to ban under-16s from platforms, comparing the current inaction to past failures with dangerous products.
