How threat of social media ban jolted tech giants into action

The UK government has announced plans to ban under-16s from social media and potentially some gaming platforms, including Roblox. In response, Roblox has introduced new safety measures. However, tech leaders have criticised the move, with Elon Musk describing the planned ban as indefensible. Meta and YouTube have also voiced opposition, while a government minister admitted that the proposed restriction is not a silver bullet for addressing the underlying issues regarding online safety for children.
