UK proposes a midnight social media curfew for older teens

The UK government proposed a midnight social media curfew for 16 and 17-year-olds, including limits on infinite scrolling. This curfew would be active by default, although teens can disable it. These measures, first reported by CNBC, aim to protect older teenagers. Furthermore, the government announced that it will not move forward with a VPN ban. The plan focuses on regulating social media access for this specific age group to enhance youth protection and digital wellbeing.
