UK proposes voluntary overnight social media curfew for older teens

The UK government has suggested a voluntary overnight social media curfew for older teens in a bid to reduce digital harm, following a recent ban on under-16s using social media. This move reflects growing concerns about the impact of heavy social media use on teenagers' mental health and wellbeing. While voluntary, the measure underscores a broader strategy to manage digital exposure and its potential negative effects. This initiative could set a precedent for other countries grappling with similar issues as they seek to balance technology use with health and safety.
