What’s behind Starmer’s social media ban?

The ban isn’t bold enough, argues online safety activist Ian Russell in The Guardian:

“The prime minister could have announced a decisive plan for change that banned personalised algorithms for teens across the board, and compelled tech companies to change their business models and tackle product safety at source. Instead, he has left algorithmic harm wide open to young people, with a ban that leaves more questions than answers. … As we have seen in Australia, teens and children are able to circumvent the ban. … This not only leaves them at greater risk, but will also mean that they are less likely to seek help for social media’s negative effect on their wellbeing, for fear of getting in trouble.”
