The UK government<\/a> is set to announce a ban on social media access for children under 16, alongside restrictions on livestreaming and disappearing messages. The proposed order may also include social media curfews for 16- and 17-year-olds, though the specific platforms affected have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

The measures are designed to prevent communication between minors and adult strangers. For the music industry, where social platforms serve as a vital channel for discovery and fan connection, the ban could pose a significant challenge for emerging artists seeking to reach teenage audiences<\/a> in one of the world’s largest music markets.<\/p>\n

A government-led “national conversation” survey on children’s internet safety drew over 116,000 responses. Among parents, 89% supported a legal minimum age requirement for social media access.<\/p>\n

Several countries, including Australia<\/a>, Indonesia, Brazil, and Malaysia<\/strong>, have already enacted similar bans. Others, such as Portugal, Greece, France, Denmark, Canada, and Spain<\/strong>, are developing comparable legislation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The UK is preparing to ban
