The Independent emphasizes the necessity of on-the-ground journalism during pivotal societal challenges like reproductive rights and climate change. By keeping reporting free from paywalls, they aim to disseminate quality news accessible to all. Concurrently, discussions are underway in the UK about proposed social media curfews for children. Digital Secretary Peter Kyle is evaluating TikTokâs curfew policy for under-16s due to concerns about social media's impact on youth well-being and family dynamics. He aims to ensure any implementation is well-supported by evidence, indicating a significant shift in child social media experiences.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.
Peter Kyle told the Daily Telegraph he was watching very carefully the introduction of TikTok's 10pm curfew for users under 16.
The proposal came amid concerns about how the addictive nature of social media was interrupting sleep schedules and disrupting schooling and family life.
Mr Kyle described the new rules as a sea change under which parents can expect their child's social media experience to look and feel different.
