After the implementation of the online Security Act, the British government plans to further restrict the use of social media by young people under the age of 16

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens and soft media users for 1520111 clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 16 (Xinhua) British Prime Minister Richthunak is considering restricting social media access for people under the age of 16 in an attempt to protect them from cyber harm, the Guardian reported.

Reported that although the British government has implemented the "online Security Act", but the government is still considering further action. The bill requires social media platforms to protect children from harmful content or face a fine of up to 10% of the company's global revenue. A local counseling campaign will be launched in the New year to explore the risks children face when using social media, Bloomberg reported.

Tuyuan Pexels, however, does not mean the country will impose a ban on the use of social media for people under the age of 16. On Thursday, local time, a British government spokesman denied the possibility: "from our point of view, we are studying how to empower parents, rather than cracking down on a particular behavior."

According to Andy Burrows, a consultant to the Molly Russell Foundation in the UK, there is a clear need for further measures to protect children from online risks, and he believes the focus should be firmly on strengthening regulators.

According to the report, a spokesman for the British Prime Minister said, "We are extensively studying the issue of protecting children's safety on the Internet."
