## Resource

Britain’s push to ban social media for kids under 16 is sparking fierce debate—Prime Minister Keir Starmer claims it’s for youth mental health, but critics argue tech companies must be held accountable instead. Inspired by Australia’s similar move, the UK is now pausing its bill as lawmakers reconsider broader reforms, highlighting the complex challenge of protecting children online without stifling their digital lives.
