PM summons senior figures from Meta, TikTok, Google and X and says social media is ‘putting our children at risk’
Keir Starmer has told social media bosses “things can’t go on like this” in a Downing Street meeting over internet safety.
The prime minister summoned senior figures at Meta, TikTok, Google, Snapchat’s owner and X to No 10 on Thursday morning as his government considers imposing new restrictions on platforms, including an Australia-style ban for under-16s. Meta owns Facebook and Instagram, and Google owns YouTube.
