Synopsis The UK government will implement an overnight social media curfew for teenagers aged sixteen and seventeen. This new measure aims to protect young people from addictive online features and promote better sleep.
Additionally, plans include disabling addictive features like infinite scrolling for older teenagers. These changes follow a recent ban on social media for children under sixteen.
Similar bans have been introduced in other countries like Australia and Canada.
