The UK government will implement a "curfew" on social media for 16 and 17-year-olds.

On the 14th, the UK government announced that a "curfew" will be implemented for teenagers aged 16 to 17 using social media. This is a new social media restriction measure after the UK government announced last month that it would ban people under the age of 16 from using a series of social media applications. The UK government stated that in the default setting, teenagers aged 16 to 17 cannot use social media from midnight to 6 a.m.; features aimed at encouraging users to browse for longer periods, such as autoplay videos, will also be turned off by default. In June, the UK government announced that it would follow Australia's lead in banning people under the age of 16 from using a series of social media applications.
