No TikTok after midnight? UK announces new online safety measures for 16- and 17-year-olds
The UK government announced new online safety measures for teenagers aged 16 and 17, encouraging a default social media curfew from midnight to 6 am. This initiative, part of the Keir Starmer government's final acts, aims to protect youth from online harms and health issues, though it is not mandatory and can be overridden. The measures build on a previous ban for under-16s that restricted access to platforms like TikTok and Snapchat.
