UK proposes midnight social‑media curfew and scrolling limits for older teens

UK policymakers have proposed a midnight curfew on social‑media use for older teenagers. The proposal also includes limits on infinite scrolling features for this age group. The measures aim to reduce excessive screen time and its associated risks. The curfew would apply to users above a certain age threshold, typically older teens. Restrictions on scrolling are intended to curb addictive usage patterns. The plan is part of broader efforts to protect young people’s digital wellbeing. Public consultation is expected to gather feedback on the proposed rules. Implementation timelines will be determined if the proposals gain legislative approval.
