China's Cyberspace Administration (CAC) is proposing new rules to tackle smartphone addiction in kids. The CAC wants devices like smartphones, tablets, and watches to have "minor mode" programs that restrict internet access for users under 18 between 10:00pm and 6:00am. The Chinese public can give their feedback on CAC's draft guidelines until September 2. The guidelines have sent tech stocks tumbling.
