The United Kingdom's crusade against social media is not over. As if a social media ban for children under 16 were not restrictive enough, the U.K. has announced plans to impose a social media curfew for 16- and 17-year-olds.
On Wednesday, the country's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology unveiled a proposal for default overnight curfews on social media apps between midnight and 6 a.m. The measure would also, by default, switch off features that "serve up personalised content" for the older teenagers. The proposed regulations would still need to be legislated by Parliament and are expected to be enforced next spring.
