A Midnight Social Media Curfew: Too Little, Too Late? The British government's proposal for a midnight social media curfew targeting 16 and 17 year olds has sparked debate among experts.
On one hand, the idea may seem like a step towards regulating social media usage among young people. However, it falls short of addressing the complex issue of online safety.
Critics argue that allowing users to simply switch off the curfew by changing their account settings places too much faith in teenagers' ability to self regulate their online behavior.
