JAKARTA - A city in Japan has prepared a gadget restriction rule for children. Later, minors can only sing cell phones (cell phones) a maximum of 2 hours a day.

The Toyoake City Government, Aichi Prefecture, is preparing a law (UU), but faces challenges regarding regulatory monitoring or law enforcement mechanisms.

If approved and implemented, guidelines for limiting the use of phones and other electronic devices outside the Toyoake City school hours will be the first in Japan.

The Toyoake City Government hopes that this rule will take effect from October 1.

The regulation also regulates that elementary school (SD) students do not use smartphones after 21.00. Meanwhile, junior high school students and above no longer use their cellphones after 22.00 so they can sleep well.

However, because the government has difficulty enforcing these rules, there will be no sanctions for violations of guidelines.

The regulation recognizes that cell phones, computers, and tablets are daily necessities. But warned that excessive use of social media and video streaming could have a negative impact on family health and life.

Nantinya pemerintah kota akan bekerja sama dengan sekolah dan orang tua untuk mempromosikan penggunaan perangkat elektronik yang sehat, kata para pejabat.

"We want these regulations to provide an opportunity for people to think about how they use cell phones," said a Toyoake official.
