      they’re mandating that phones have these controls available to parents for free, not that they are on. Makes a lot of sense imo

        The article suggests otherwise:

        No Chinese person under 18 would be allowed to use a smartphone for more than two hours a day if the rules become law.

        Yeah and then they mandatorily hard code a face scanner in that automatically activates that mode… They have already done that with PCs.
