Parents overwhelmingly supported the move during a major consultation. The plan also includes daily usage limits for teens under 18 and stricter rules for gaming and live-streaming to prevent contact with strangers. While enforcement will be tough, officials believe clear boundaries send a vital message about protecting children’s well-being in the digital age.
