YouTube Kids And Spotify Could Be Caught In Under-16 Social Media Ban
Up to 150 platforms, including YouTube Kids, Spotify, eBay and Lego Play, could fall under the UK's planned social media ban for under-16s, according to sources briefed on draft rules. The regulations target recommender algorithms and user-generated content and go to cabinet for sign-off this week. The online safety minister, Ian Murray, said services could escape the ban by proving they have no harmful features.
