I mean, I literally interviewed someone this morning who said, you know, if this time next year I'm out of a job, that is ideal.
That's what I want.
I don't want to be working in this job this time next year.
And I thought, yeah, well, let's see.
This curfew is essentially like placing a bottle of alcohol in front of a teenager, but just keeping it out of arm's reach.
It is a lot to ask a young 16-year-old, 17-year-old to not just go into their settings and change it.
What teenager is going to be able to resist that?
Parents feel like they're fighting a losing battle.
There is some hesitation about upsetting tech companies too much by coming in too hard with restrictions.
Yeah, so what this is, is a voluntary curfew on social media apps, which will mean
From the hours of midnight to 6am, certain apps will be blocked for 16 and 17 year olds.
It'll also include features like, for instance, the most kind of addictive elements of social media.
So autoplay videos where the video just kind of automatically keeps scrolling to the next one.
And also infinite scrolling will also be automatically blocked.
blocked for that age group, 16 and 17 year olds.
But the most important thing to note is that this is all voluntary.
It's just it will be a sort of default on the app, but it takes just a few clicks for a teenager to just go in their settings, switch all this off and essentially completely override it.
Right.
being able to access social media at all yeah so the reason they're doing this is because they're concerned about uh you know teenagers hitting the age of 16 have never been allowed on social media in their lives and suddenly they get unlimited access and they're worried that you know teenagers will essentially be scrolling into the middle of the night which you know a lot of them already are so they're trying to kind of tailor it so that um teenagers get a more gradual introduction to social media but yeah there's a lot of critics who think it's unlikely to play out that way
Yeah, essentially.
