Sky News Chinese regulators have proposed rules that would limit under 18s to a maximum of two hours a day on their smartphones. The country's cyberspace regulator said it wanted providers of smart devices to introduce a so-called 'minor mode' which would bar users under the age of 18 from accessing the internet on their mobiles from 10pm until 6am. The proposal comes as authorities have grown increasingly concerned about rates of myopia (short-sightedness) and internet addiction among young people in recent years and highlights Beijing's desire to exert more control over digital life in China.
