The move was due to fears that messaging functions on the platforms allowed strangers to groom children, according to the newspaper. It suggested similar reselling platforms, Depop and Facebook Marketplace, would also be included in the list of banned sites.

I don't even know what to say to this LOL.

Next: UK Government to ban children interacting with other people in real life

Most child abuse comes from family members, therefore under-16s will be banned from interacting with their parents and relatives.
