We want to address concerns that there will be a cliff edge when a child turns 16—an age when young people should be especially focused on their future and exams. I can announce that livestreaming and stranger communication, including in gaming, will be switched off by default for 16 and 17 year-olds. I am also strongly minded to bring in default overnight curfews and breaks in infinite scrolling for 16 and 17 year-olds. I will set out further details in my next Statement in July, once our pilot schemes are finished.
