UK floats overnight social media curfew for 16 and 17-year-olds

  • The UK government is considering an overnight social media curfew for older teenagers, with apps blocked by default between midnight and 6am and 'infinite scrolling' switched off, as part of a wider drive to limit young people's time online.
  • Critics note teens would be able to turn the limits off.
