UK plans to restrict nighttime social media use for teenagers
The UK government plans to limit social media use for 16- and 17-year-olds between midnight and 6 a.m. The new regulation will also reduce addictive features such as infinite scrolling and autoplay.
The UK is taking a new step to regulate the time young people spend on digital platforms. The government is considering imposing nighttime restrictions on social media use for 16- and 17-year-olds.
Under the planned regulation, access to social media platforms for users in this age group will be restricted between midnight and 6 a.m. However, this restriction will not be mandatory; teenagers will be able to remove the limit by changing their account settings.
The UK government also announced that features such as infinite scrolling and autoplay, which cause users to stay on platforms longer, will be reduced. The new rules are expected to come into force in the spring of next year.
