UK proposes midnight social media ban and scroll limits for older teenagers

The UK government has proposed a social media curfew starting at midnight for older teenagers, along with restrictions on endless scrolling. Teens would retain the ability to opt out of these measures if they choose. The proposals have drawn criticism from campaigners, who argue the approach is piecemeal and insufficient. The initiative appears aimed at reducing the potential harms of late-night and excessive social media use among young people.
