While not mandatory, apps will default to blocking content from midnight to 6 AM, alongside turning off addictive features like autoplay and endless feeds. Critics call the measures half-hearted, arguing they’re more political theater than real protection. Research shows curfews help teens sleep better and focus more, though some report feeling isolated. The government also plans to use AI chatbots to nudge younger users toward healthier habits, aiming to balance independence with safety.
