Nandy: children's social media ban a 'staging post' in online safety
Original: Nandy says children’s social media ban only ‘staging post’ in online safety drive https://www. theguardian.com/technolog
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said the proposed ban on social media for children is only a 'staging post' in a wider drive to make the internet safer, signalling further measures beyond restricting under-age use. She made the comments at the Labour conference, framing the policy as part of a broader online safety agenda rather than a final step.
Why now: Her comments at Labour's 2026 conference signal the government plans to go further on regulating social media for children.
