Keeping children safe online has been my top priority since day one in this job. I have listened to calls, especially from bereaved families, to act as quickly as possible. Today I announce our first steps, with more to come next month. I can confirm that we will ban social media companies from providing their services to under-16s. We are doing this to give greater protections to children and greater clarity to parents and carers, and to set a new social norm for future generations.
