The UK government has proposed a social media curfew for teenagers aged 16 and 17, restricting access from midnight to 6 am.
The curfew is part of a broader initiative aimed at reducing online harms and will not be mandatory, as teens can opt out by changing their settings.
The initiative follows an earlier ban on social media access for children under 16.
Young people have expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the proposed curfew.
The policy includes measures to limit "addictive" features of certain social media platforms.
