Starmer Urges Swift Action to Protect Children Online

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called for stronger protections for children online, highlighting emerging threats from AI chatbots. Speaking at a community hub in South West London, Starmer said the current approach is insufficient and pledged rapid government action. 

Keir Starmer, UK Prime Minister said  "But I'm really clear the status quo, things as they are now is not good enough. Nobody can make the argument that things can be left as they are. They can't, they're not protective of children and we intend to act." 

Starmer emphasized acting within months rather than years to address risks from social media, addictive features, and AI-driven platforms.
