Teenagers face block on overnight access and addictive social media features

Liz Kendall announced that 16 and 17-year-olds will face new social media restrictions. These measures include switching off infinite scrolling and implementing overnight curfews from midnight to 6am. While these default settings aim to combat addictive features, teenagers in this age group can choose to disable them. Consequently, critics have questioned the overall effectiveness of the plans introduced by Starmer to crack down on the addictive nature of social media platforms for older teenagers.
