I would like to know how you think about this. Personally, I think it’s a very good ordinance. It’s not enforced, but encouraged. We should correct the situation that Xitter users and Tiktokers are getting brainfucked by spreading conspiracies.

    For those who didn’t read, it’s not an enforced cap. It’s a recommendation. This is essentially just a PSA framed as an ordinance.

    Smartphones aren’t the issue. You can access the internet in other ways. This feels very boomer yelling at clouds.

    That said, as a recommendation, sure why not. People do seem a bit too glued to their phones overall. But I don’t think that’s anything new.

    I also don’t know anything about japanese laws, so I have no idea if this is a concern, but anything potentially enforcable that cuts into people’s freedom arbitrarily makes alarm bells go off in my head.

      Every time i see something like that from Japan i think it’s a new method they are trying to get people to have more babies XD “stop being on your phone so much and go outside to meet people!”

    It would be wise to do the same with stuff like working hours too, to stop the “attendance epidemic” that is so harmful to people that they have a word for “death by overworking”. But regarding this one, as long as it stays on a level of a PSA that’s fine by me.
