    Chinese TikTok has a reminder if you are using the app for 2 hours or in the evening approaching to sleep time (11 or 12 I don't remember), it shows a clip from an actor/actress/singer/other pop star to remind you to put down you phone and go to bed. This is to general public. Don't ask me how did I know it.

    I wonder if restricting video games correlates with a rise in crime. China is most likely different culturally in that regard but I’m curious to see the effects of it.

    On one hand, I want to keep kids away from addictive gadgets and apps; on the other hand, I can't help thinking: maybe that is the future.

    So they'll log out, right?
