The government is seriously considering restricting under-16s from using Vinted and eBay, the culture secretary has confirmed.
The two online marketplaces could be included in a list of platforms subject to an under-16 ban next March. The proposal would affect young users of both services, although the supplied information does not set out how any restriction would be enforced.
The culture secretary’s comments confirm that the possibility is being actively examined rather than ruled out. No final decision or further details about the proposed arrangements have been provided.
