Scottish National Party — Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 June 2026

Debate

Social Media Ban for Under-16s

Contribution

The SNP welcomes today’s statement addressing what is a clear and growing threat to our children’s wellbeing. The devil will of course be in the detail, but we will work constructively and positively to make sure the measures are meaningful and effective. Platforms such as Roblox, on which games are user-generated with a chat functionality, pose the risk of children being exposed to inappropriate content, online predators and scammers. How will the Government tackle such gaming platforms which are in reality just another form of social media?
