UK Expects Meta to Match US Child Safety Measures After $18bn Settlement The UK government's expectation that Meta will mirror its US child safety measures in Britain is a logical response to growing recognition of social media's perils.

Pat McFadden, work and pensions secretary, is right to demand that young people in the UK be afforded similar protections as those in the US.
