Chinese youth to have smartphone, internet use curbed FMTNews FMTWorld
BEIJING: Chinese children and teens will be cut off from accessing the internet at night and have their smartphone use curbed under new rules unveiled today aimed at fighting internet addiction.
A tiered system for managing smartphone usage time will also be imposed, spanning a maximum of 40 minutes a day for those under the age of eight to two hours for 16 and 17-year-olds. The measures would build upon existing efforts to strengthen the online protection of minors, it added, including by “enriching age-appropriate content” and reducing “the influence of bad information”.
