UK 16 and 17-year-olds: we would like to hear your views on the government’s social media ban for under-16s. What are your thoughts about the ban? Do you welcome it or do you have misgivings? The UK government has confirmed a social media ban for under-16s.
We’d like to hear from 16 and 17-year-olds about their views on the social media ban.
What are your thoughts on the ban coming in when 16-year-olds will soon be able to vote (at the next general election), and when they can pay taxes and join the army. Do you welcome it or do you have misgivings?
