British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would impose a ban on social media sites for children under 16 and restrictions on gaming and live streaming platforms to "give kids their childhood back".

Below are details of what is being banned, how the measures will be enforced, and when they are expected to take effect.

This means the ban will include platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook.

The government said it did not intend for messaging services like WhatsApp or music streaming services to be included in the ban, and exemptions would be kept under review.
