UK Proposes Voluntary Overnight Social Media Curfew for Older Teens The UK government's latest attempt to curb digital harm among minors involves a voluntary overnight social media curfew for older teenagers.
The proposed restriction, aimed at 16 and 17 year olds, would encourage better sleep and focus habits without outright banning them from major platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
This approach seems generous on the surface, but its execution is flawed. By allowing users to bypass the restrictions, the government has created a system that is as fragile as it is ineffective.
