[Britain to Impose Social Media Curfew on 16-17 Year Olds] The British government announced on July 14 that it will impose a "curfew" on social media use by teenagers aged 16 and 17. This is the latest social media restriction measure issued by the British government, following last month's announcement of a ban on a range of social media applications for those under the age of 16. According to a statement released by the British government, by default, teenagers aged 16 and 17 will not be able to use social media between midnight and 6 a.m. Furthermore, features intended to encourage users to browse for longer periods, including automatic continuous video playback and personalized content recommendations, will also be disabled by default. Currently, the British government has not specified which social media platforms are included in this ban. (CCTV International News)
