UK strengthens digital protection for minors with new online restrictions

The UK Government has announced a series of measures aimed at enhancing the digital safety of children and teenagers, including a ban on social media access for users under 16, restrictions on certain AI chatbots, and the introduction of a “digital curfew” from 8:30 PM. The initiative seeks to reduce young people’s exposure to harmful content and encourage healthier digital habits, while reigniting discussions around privacy, online safety, and the responsibility of digital platforms in protecting minors.
