✖ UK Proposes Midnight Social Media Curfew for Teens Aged 16–17

TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and other platforms would be unavailable to 16- and 17-year-olds from midnight to 6 a.m. Teens can turn the restrictions off at any time—they're on by default, not mandatory.

Next spring, the UK will enforce a full social media ban for kids under 16. The curfew is designed to smooth the transition: instead of hitting a "cliff edge" at 16, teens would ease into social media gradually.

Is a curfew like this a good idea?

❤️ — Yes, it protects kids
👎 — No, it violates their rights!
