NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The proposed social media curfew is part of a broader effort to address concerns over the impact of excessive screen time on teenagers' mental and physical health. Research has shown that prolonged exposure to screens and social media can interfere with sleep patterns, social skills, and emotional well-being in young people. The default settings change would aim to mitigate these effects by limiting access to social media during late-night hours when teenagers are most vulnerable to addictive scrolling.
