UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer summoned executives from Meta, X, TikTok, Google, and Snap to Downing Street on April 16, 2026, warning that the current approach to online safety is "unsustainable" and threatening measures including a potential ban on under-16s from social media. The confrontation comes as AI-generated child sexual abuse material has surged from 7 reports in 2022 to over 426 in 2025, while Ofcom's enforcement of the Online Safety Act has so far produced only modest fines totalling roughly £1.4 million — a fraction of what the EU has levied under its Digital Services Act.
