Chief Minister Alf Cannan says the Island has the option to bring in UK laws if we need to regulate social media.
In the House of Keys this week, he was asked if there were any plans to ban under-16s from social platforms, as the UK considers imposing an Australia-style age limit.
Mr Cannan said there'd been no consideration of a similar ban here.
But he said a particular UK law could be applied to the Isle of Man if we chose:
Manx movie star featuring at Cannes
Registrations open for popular charity obstacle course
Northern roads to close for cycling
Hundreds of job offers withdrawn over vetting failures
New cafe for the capital
Crash causes disruption at Quarterbridge
Stamps mark Manx connection to US War of Independence
