Vinted and eBay could be included in the list of platforms set to be banned for children aged under 16, the culture secretary has said.

Lisa Nandy said the government was “looking seriously” at including the retailing websites in the social media ban “to keep children safe”.

The UK’s social media ban for under-16s is set to come into force in March next year, with children barred from accessing platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat.
