Children face two-hour limits on Snapchat and TikTok as government cracks down on ‘compulsive’ screen time
Science and Technology Secretary, Children, as part of a government plan, may face two -hour boundaries on social media such as Tiktok and Snapchat.
Peter Kyle, who had to make an announcement in autumn, warned young people about the effects of young people on their sleep and their ability to focus on working for exams and said that he was worried about the “total time of children in these applications” and their content.
According to reports, there was a two -hour limit per platform between the ideas that were seriously taken into consideration, while the curfew was also discussed at night or school time. Last year, Australia enacted a law to prohibit all of under 16 years of age, although England was not expected to go so far.
It comes as a new survey shows One out of every five children spends at least seven hours a day Using phones and tablets.
Mr Kyle said that “children look very carefully about the general time they have spent in these applications”.
“I think that some parents feel a little weak about how to make their children healthier online,” Sky News said. He said.
“I think some children sometimes think that there are too many compulsive behavior with practices, they only need some help to seize their online lives, and these are really careful things.
“We talk a lot about a healthy childhood offline. We should do the same online. I think sleep is very important, it is very important to focus on the study.”
“Not guilty, but unhealthy, excessive use of some of these applications,” he wanted to stop spending hours to view the content, he added.
“I think we can encourage companies and we can set the balance from the hands of children and we can set a slightly different threshold to overthrow the balance in favor of parents who make a really strange, difficult speech around him.”
On Tuesday, Angela Rayner comes after warning that social harmony is an important factor in online time, with deprivation and migration.
He said to his colleagues: “Economic insecurity, industrialization, migration, and impacts on local communities and public services, technological change and reducing the trust in institutions that people spend online and online had a deep impact on society.”
Tiktok and Snapchat were approached for a comment.
