Representatives suggested developing mobile phones for minors: only networks and software dedicated to minors can be used

Nowadays, smartphones and the Internet have brought great convenience to our lives, but at the same time they have also brought risks to minors.

According to domestic media reports, in order to prevent minors from becoming addicted to mobile phones and the negative impact of bad content on the Internet on minors, Li Xia, a member of the National People's Congress and director of Guangdong Baihao Law Firm, suggested that the country should support relevant mobile phone manufacturers in developing mobile phones specifically for minors.

This type of mobile phone must be able to fully control the continuous and cumulative time that minors use their mobile phones to access the Internet every day, and even the time for classified logins to network content , so as to limit the time that minors use their mobile phones to log on to the Internet and prevent them from becoming overly addicted to mobile phones and the Internet, which may affect their physical and mental health.

Mobile phones used exclusively for minors must and can only use networks and software used exclusively for minors. They cannot log into other networks or download other software.

At the same time, she suggested that the country should also provide supporting support for the development and operation of networks and software dedicated to minors, and strictly review and supervise the content and functions of networks and software dedicated to minors to ensure that the content and functions of such networks and software are conducive to broadening the horizons and increasing knowledge of minors.

The music, short videos, film and television works, novels, games, etc. on this network must be conducive to cultivating healthy values ​​and intellectual development of minors; unhealthy content in social media such as QQ and WeChat must be automatically blocked.

Li Xia said that the harm caused by mobile phones and the Internet to minors should be solved from the source, and mobile phones and the Internet should become good teachers and friends for minors and a paradise for minors' growth, rather than drugs for minors' growth .

In this regard, some netizens said: "This suggestion is in line with today's society. The frequency of minors using mobile phones has increased significantly. Smart phones have become a part of life. There are advantages and disadvantages, but it cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach. Self-control is very important. Even adults cannot exercise self-control, so it is understandable."

"Wouldn't it be better to buy your child a feature phone that can only make calls and send and receive text messages? Many children are addicted to mobile phones because of their parents' spoiling and influence," said one netizen.

Another netizen said that when we were young, the Internet and mobile phones were not popular, and there were also addictive things. Times change, and the form is changing, but the fundamental thing is to cultivate children's self-control from an early age, and to provide more education and positive guidance. It is better to open up than to block.
