@vickybahi508: UK Wants to Ban Social Media for Teens?! WATCH TILL THE END! Your teenager could soon be locked out of TikTok. Watch till the end, because Britain is moving to ban social media for everyone under sixteen, and even adults could be caught up in it. Here is what we know. Under sixteens will soon be blocked from using apps like Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat. And today we got a few more details about how that ban might actually work. Ofcom, the online safety regulator, says platforms could use facial scans, passports, digital ID, and even banking details to verify people's ages. And it will not only be teenagers who are affected. Many adults will also have to prove they are over sixteen to keep using their accounts. But apparently some checks could be carried out without people even noticing. It will be up to the social media companies which age checks they introduce. And there are still lots of questions. A similar ban was introduced in Australia last year. But lots of children seem to be getting around it, and still have access to their accounts. The UK government says it will set out more details by the end of the year, ahead of the ban coming in, in the spring. So what do you make of the ideas? Should Britain ban social media for under sixteens? Tell us in the comments!
