Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has not ruled out changing the voluntary element of social media curfews for teenagers in the future if it is found they are turning off safety features. On top of the social media ban for under-16s announced by Sir Keir Starmer last month, plans unveiled on Wednesday will see 16 and 17-year-olds prevented from accessing social media sites between midnight and 6am by default. The measures, announced by Technology Secretary Liz Kendall, will also see addictive features such as auto-scrolling and algorithmic feeds turned off. Speaking with Consultant Paediatrician Dr Sanjiv Nachani, Talk's Ian Collins says: "It's a bit of a conundrum for people, isn't it?" #socialmedia #ban #iancollins #talk Have you got a story?
