Vinted and eBay could be included in under-16 social media ban, minister says

UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said the government is seriously considering including Vinted and eBay in its planned ban on social media for under-16s, which is due to take effect in March. The move is intended to protect children from risks including strangers contacting and grooming them through messaging features. The Sunday Times reported that Depop and Facebook Marketplace could also be affected. The full list of platforms has not been released; YouTube Kids will be exempt, while some Roblox features, including chat, will be restricted.
