Opposition Day: Protections for children from online harms

Opposition Education

What this vote was about

This Liberal Democrat Opposition Day motion called for stronger protections for children from online harms, backing a framework that would set default age-16 ratings for social media, raise the digital age of consent from 13 to 16, cap short-form "doomscrolling" video for under-18s, and give Ofcom new enforcement powers. MPs rejected it.
