Social Media - A Harms-Based Approach or a Blanket Ban?
The Liberal Democrat perspective regarding the ban on social media is to support stronger protections for children online, through a targeted, harm-based approach rather than an outright blanket ban on all social media.
In 2026, the party proposed a system similar to film age ratings, where the most harmful platforms would be restricted for under-16s while educational and low-risk services could still be used.
We will discuss the following points:
1. Protect children, not punish everyone
2. Hold tech companies accountable
3. Balance safety with freedom and privacy
