Midnight social media curfew and limits to infinite scrolling proposed for older UK teens

The U.K. government is stepping up efforts to safeguard older teenagers' mental health by introducing new social media regulations. These include a curfew that bans access after midnight and restrictions on infinite scrolling to limit time spent online. This move aims to address growing concerns about the impact of social media on mental well-being, especially among teens. The proposal highlights a broader global conversation about balancing technology use with health and safety.
