Social media curfew for teens

Mumsnet Review 4 days ago

Description

The Government's plans for a voluntary overnight social media curfew for 16 and 17-year-olds have landed... and Mumsnetters have thoughts.

The proposals would see overnight restrictions and features like autoplay switched on by default for older teens, who would still be able to change the settings.

They follow the planned under-16 social media ban, which is expected to come into force next spring.

From screen time and sleep to where the responsibility really lies, Mumsnetters are already sharing their views here: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5554468-to-think-we-should-spend-less-time-policing-1617-year-old-social-media-use-and-more-time-worrying-about-young-children-spending-their-childhood-on-ipads
