Britain plans nighttime social media restrictions for teenagers

The British government has announced plans to impose night-time restrictions on social media use for 16 and 17-year-olds, with the aim of improving their sleep, concentration and wellbeing.

Under the proposal, platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube would be automatically blocked from midnight to 6 a.m., although users would be able to disable this restriction through account settings. The government also aims to limit features such as endless scrolling of content and auto-playing videos.

British Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said the measures aim to enable young people to benefit from technology, while protecting them from the negative effects of its excessive use.

However, the proposal has been criticized by the opposition and child protection organizations, who call it insufficient. According to them, the fact that the restriction can be easily removed by users themselves makes the measure ineffective.

The government aims to present the changes to Parliament by the end of 2026, so that they can enter into force along with the ban on access to some social networks for people under 16, planned for next spring./ CNA
