China’s internet watchdog has laid out regulations to curb the amount of time children spend on their smartphones.
Children pass by a mascot for Tencent during a promotion event in Beijing, on Nov. 11, 2020. On Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2023, China's internet watchdog has laid out regulations to curb the amount of time minors spend on their smartphones, in the latest blow to firms such as Tencent and ByteDance which run social media platforms and online games.
Only certain services, such as apps or platforms that are deemed suitable to the physical and mental development of minors, will be exempted. The CAC did not specify which internet services would be allowed exemptions. Short-video and online video platforms like Douyin, Bilibili and Kuaishou have offered youth modes that restrict the type of content shown to minors and the length of time they can use the service. Children are also pushed educational content, such as science experiments.
“To effectively strengthen the online protection of minors, the CAC has in recent years pushed for the establishment of a youth mode on internet platforms, expanding its coverage, optimizing its functions and enriching it with age-appropriate content,” the CAC said.
