## Resource

Since December, popular social media platforms including TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Snapchat have been legally required to take reasonable steps to prevent under-16s from signing up or keeping an account. But - six months in - questions are being raised about if the existing laws have been successful in keeping underage teens off social media.
