The U.K Government is considering limiting children’s social media time. Proposed measures (reportedly under discussion by ministers) include a two hour daily cap on apps and a curfew preventing use after 10 pm for children under 18-years-old. These ideas are part of a broader push to strengthen online safety laws, following growing concerns from parents who say current regulations aren’t doing enough. While both Apple and Google already offer parental controls, critics argue these tools are either too complicated or too easy to bypass. Advocates are urging the government to move beyond voluntary measures and introduce stricter, enforceable rules to truly protect young users. The proposals are still in the early stages, but officials like Technology Secretary Peter Kyle have said they’re exploring ways to address the addictive nature of certain apps and ensure kids have healthier digital habits.
