China looks to limit children to two hours a day on their phones
2 August 2023 18:54
(Adds comment from analyst, detail)
By Josh Ye
Hong Kong, Aug 2 (Reuters) – China's cyberspace regulator said on Wednesday children under the age of 18 should be limited to a maximum of two hours a day on their smartphones, sending shares in tech companies tumbling.
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said it wanted providers of smart devices to introduce so-called minor mode programmes that would bar users under 18 from accessing the internet on mobile devices from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Providers would also have to set time limits under the proposed reforms, the CAC said.
Users aged 16 to 18 would be allowed two hours a day, children aged eight to 16 would get one hour while children under eight would be allowed just eight minutes.

Teens are so smart they will still find ways to get internet. The CCP is really one group of old fags.

This is power. It took them many years to prep the entire nation database and infra and application accounts standardisations just to make this move.

AI will pick up the new ways and they will keep shutting the channels.

Very good and caring government.
When my kids were still in primary school, it was so troublesome to use those Andriod and apple app to control children handphone usage. The passcode were so easily unlocked by my children.

The Chinese are very lucky to finally settled with the CCP to run the country after so many revolutions and internal wars. Without the CCP there will be no new China today.
