‘What’s the point?’ Teenagers give their verdict on Britain’s social media curfew

Teenagers in Britain are largely dismissive of the government's proposed social media curfew, which aims to limit their use of certain apps from midnight to 6am starting next spring. Though the curfew can be turned off by opting out, young people interviewed by the Guardian expressed frustration and skepticism, questioning its effectiveness and necessity. This pushback highlights broader debates about digital regulation and the balance between safeguarding young people and respecting their autonomy.
