    “China announced Monday that minors can only play video games for an hour on Fridays, weekends and holidays, and are banned from playing during the school week. The new rule comes from China’s video game regulator.”

    I think China does have similar rules around social media, no? Is Snapchat even available in the country? I know many social media platforms are not.
