In brief
Labour's controversial social media curfew proposal has drawn criticism for its ineffective implementation. The policy would automatically restrict access between midnight and 6 AM, yet permit users to disable the restriction themselves.

The mechanism relies on parental oversight and voluntary compliance, raising questions about enforceability and actual protective impact.
