The United Kingdom is the latest country to put in place tough restrictions for young people who use social media.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his government will ban access to those under the age of 16.
The plan will also include further restrictions on gaming platforms and livestreaming apps.
It follows other nations who've introduced similar measures in recent years.
While the move has widely been welcomed by many, critics say a blanket ban will be ineffective and difficult to enforce.
But will this policy work? and how will it be enforced?
