Midnight social media curfew proposed for older UK teens

The UK government has proposed a midnight to 6am social media curfew for 16 and 17-year-olds, with an opt-out option. Addictive features like auto-play and infinite scroll would be disabled by default. Technology Secretary Liz Kendall says the measures will improve sleep and focus. Critics, including shadow education secretary Laura Trott, call the plans a 'dog's dinner' and a missed opportunity.
