The media industry is facing a social reckoning.

After mounting scrutiny of social media’s impact on young users, the U.K. announced Monday that it would move forward with a ban on children under 16 using apps such as TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube.

The news arrived just days after the first trailer for Aaron Sorkin’s “The Social Reckoning” dropped online. The film, like its predecessor, takes aim at Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg — this time focusing on allegations that Facebook ignored internal warnings about the platform’s effects on young users and mental health.
