Legislative proposals have emerged to restrict social media use among young people. The aim is to protect them from online harm. Some countries are considering age limits for platforms like YouTube and Facebook.

A proposal for a similar ban has been put forward in the US, where many social media companies are based. These companies are facing lawsuits over allegations that their products are addictive.

Further information on these developments is available from the source, including details on the positions of tech leaders such as Mark Zuckerberg on the issue of children's social media use.
