UK plans social media curfew for teens aged 16 and 17

The UK government announced plans to establish a social media curfew for teens aged 16 and 17, the BBC reported. The news comes a month after the UK announced a ban on social media for children under 16, and days after the EU announced a similar ban for children under 13.The curfew would restrict use of social media apps like Instagram and YouTube, and would be from the hours of midnight to 6:00 a.m. But there will apparently be a way to opt out of this.Currently, the UK is under the Online Safety Act, an age assurance law that requires proof of age to see content deemed "restricted to adults," such as pornography, but also extends to non-explicit content like forums about addiction.
