Hugh Grant

Hugh Grant is a British actor. He is currently newsworthy for two main reasons. Firstly, he was a victim of phone hacking by tabloids in the UK, a scandal that is being revisited in media. Secondly, he is actively campaigning for a ban on social media for children under the age of 16. He recently signed a letter urging Westminster party leaders to support an amendment to the children’s wellbeing and schools bill that would implement this ban. This follows growing calls from campaigners and peers, though a proposed ban was recently rejected by MPs. Grant's involvement highlights the ongoing debate about the impact of social media on young people and the need for regulation.
