Reporter: What's your comment on the youth model in which major apps are launched?
Zheng Ning: At present, the proportion of underage netizens among Chinese netizens is very high.
Because of their strong curiosity, weak discrimination and self-control, young people are prone to indulge in the Internet, which affects their academic and physical and mental health.
Therefore, the launch of the youth protection model is of positive significance for promoting the healthy growth of minors: the youth model optimizes the content pool, provides healthy and progressive high-quality content, prevents minors from being misled by illegal and bad information, and helps them establish correct three At the same time, the privacy and personal information of minors are protected to the greatest extent; the setting of time management and authority management functions in the youth mode can prevent minors from indulging in the Internet and protect their physical and mental health; management of consumption functions can also prevent minors People’s behavior of giving rewards at sky-high prices protects their property rights.
Li Hongjiang: The youth model of video software not only restricts the use time, but also restricts its functions.
These measures combine the growth characteristics of teenagers and mobile phone usage habits, and can specifically restrict the way teenagers use mobile phones. Not only can they prevent teenagers from indulging in the Internet, they can also provide them with useful information and create a healthy network environment.
Reporter: At present, what are the main problems with the youth model?
How should we view the appeals of some netizens that all applications should pass real-name authentication to force the teenager mode on?
Guo Dong: The current problem is mainly the ineffective implementation. Some short video platforms have a youth model, but they are useless.
Any user who uses these short video platforms can ignore the prompted youth mode, and can easily circumvent the restrictions of this mode, making the mode lose its protective role for young people.
As far as the current practice is concerned, only relying on market forces cannot solve its own problems, so some applications should adopt real-name systems.
As early as 2012, normative documents on real-name authentication have been issued, so what needs to be discussed now is how to protect the personal information of users after the implementation of the real-name system, while also taking care of the physical and mental health of minors.
There is no doubt that enterprises should assume corresponding social responsibilities and cannot use real-name information to infringe users' personal privacy rights. This must be particularly vigilant.
At the same time, government departments are also required to exercise restraint on capital power, especially Internet companies that have a monopolistic nature.
Jiang Jing: At present, the youth model cannot completely solve the online risk of minors.
With the progress of the times, minors are good at using smartphones and are also very knowledgeable about Internet technology. Many teenagers are capable of cracking the youth model.
At the same time, parents’ awareness of the adolescent model is still lacking. Many parents ignore their children’s use of the Internet because of their busy schedule.
I personally do not support real-name authentication for all applications.
Although the Law on the Protection of Minors stipulates that minors’ parents or other guardians should install minor’s network protection software on smart terminal products, select service modes and management functions suitable for minors, etc., to avoid minors Exposure to online information that is harmful or that may affect their physical and mental health, but this is always just one of the means to regulate minors' reasonable Internet access and effectively prevent minors from indulging in the Internet.
If you simply require all software to pass real-name authentication to force the teenager mode on, it would be a bit of a choke.
Reporter: In reality, the operation of some apps to turn on the youth mode is more hidden and complicated, which also causes different levels of distress to parents.
What are the other suggestions for the youth model?
Jiang Jing: Compared with the problems that are easy to solve after turning on the youth mode, the problems of concealed and complicated operations are not a big problem, because parents can solve them with their care.
Parents should care more about their children and spend more time to learn about new things.
My suggestion is that the youth model should be continuously optimized and perfected, focusing on the original intention of the model setting, and promoting it through positive guidance and negative punishment; each platform also needs to enrich and improve the content reserve, create works suitable for all ages, and encourage Creation, to maximize the balance between knowledge and interest.
The family is the cradle of children’s growth, and parents are the children’s first teachers. Family relationships play a vital role in preventing teenagers from indulging in the Internet. Parents’ education methods should be closely related to the mental health of teenagers, focusing on understanding children’s inner thoughts so that children can gain a sense of existence in real life; schools should also guide minors to establish correct values and outlook on life, and encourage teenagers to actively participate Cultural and sports activities and social practice activities to prevent young people from diverting their attention from the real world to the virtual world; young people themselves should also correctly understand the network, form correct self-understanding and evaluation, focus on learning, and expand all kinds of benefits. Hobbies for physical and mental health.
