More than 60 hours a week, 10 days a month and 120 days a year: if a study from Germany is to be believed, young people today use smartphones and the internet more intensively than ever before. Since the outbreak of the corona pandemic, there has been considerable growth. The first (authoritarian) governments are already taking action with restrictions on use. But parents can also prevent mobile phone excesses themselves. We show you how it works.
Smartphones and online games are considered “mental opium” in China, corrupting the youth. That is why the government under Xi Jinping wants to introduce a nighttime smartphone ban: smartphone use is taboo between 10 p.m. Even facial recognition is being used to protect young Chinese from smartphone excesses.
With us, such measures would be unthinkable in terms of data protection law, even if concerned parents wanted such interventions. Fortunately, if you want to limit the time children use mobile phones, you don’t need government support.
