The media regulator Ofcom named four "highly effective" methods to enforce a UK ban preventing under-16s from accessing ten major social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. These methods include photo ID matching, bank checks, face age estimation, and digital ID services. The ban is set to commence in March, and the government will decide on the plans by the end of the year.
