The upcoming trials will focus on restricting social media access for teenagers during specific hours to evaluate implications on mental health and social behavior.
This initiative aims to address concerns around online bullying and excessive screen time among the youth.
The trials are set to begin on March 25, 2026, and will provide critical data on the effectiveness of such restrictions in managing digital engagement.
