Anonymousabout 2 hours ago

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer summoned executives from Meta, TikTok, Google, Snap, and X to Downing Street on April 15, 2026, demanding they "step up and take responsibility" for children's online safety. The meeting comes as the government consults on measures that could include an Australia-style under-16 social media ban, while Ofcom and the ICO have given six major platforms until April 30 to prove they are complying with the Online Safety Act's child-protection duties — or face fines of up to 10% of global revenue.
