Multiple measures must be taken to prevent minors from becoming addicted to short videos

2023-04-19

Recently, the State Council Office held a press conference on the 2023 "Qinglang" series of special actions. The relevant person in charge of the National Cyberspace Administration stated that this year, the youth mode will be comprehensively upgraded. While enriching age-specific content, the time and function will be scientifically limited to minimize the difficulty of use, making this mode truly a "protective shield" for minors to access the internet healthily. At the same time, special measures will be taken in collaboration with relevant departments to address the issue of teenagers' addiction to short videos. In recent years, with the comprehensive popularization of smartphones and the continuous development of internet technology, short videos have become the mainstream form of media. Brushing short videos, as a new form of entertainment, is particularly attractive to teenagers. The survey report on "Characteristics and Protection of Short Video Usage among Primary and Secondary School Students" released by the China Youth Research Center shows that 65.6% of surveyed minors have watched short videos, and 20% of teenagers say they "almost always" watch short videos. Addiction to short videos has become a serious problem faced by some teenagers, affecting their physical and mental health and academic performance. This special governance action by the National Cyberspace Administration is at the right time. To control teenagers' addiction to short videos, multiple measures should be taken simultaneously and comprehensive efforts should be made. Firstly, the anti addiction system for teenagers should be upgraded to compensate for system vulnerabilities and play a protective role. In 2019, led by the National Cyberspace Administration, a youth addiction prevention system was piloted and launched on major short video platforms and live streaming platforms to limit the usage time and browsing content of the application by minors. However, the implementation efforts of various platforms vary, with some platforms having too deep hidden youth modes and lax enforcement on user real name login, identity recognition, and other aspects. To make the youth model truly effective, it is necessary to further standardize short video platforms, strengthen real name verification, facial recognition and other functions, and crack down on illegal renting and selling of online accounts. At the same time, a short video classification and grading system can be implemented, with different labels and ratings set according to age groups. The platform will label the content in compliance to help users understand the nature of video content and choose suitable short videos to watch. Secondly, improve artificial intelligence review technology to automatically review and filter content on short video platforms, improve recognition accuracy, reduce the occurrence of harmful content, and thus reduce the negative impact on minors. We should vigorously develop artificial intelligence technology, strengthen the platform's ability and efficiency in automatically reviewing and filtering content, and screen out bad content that violates regulations according to the short video classification and grading system. At the same time, we will strengthen and improve the mechanism for reporting illegal and harmful information, and promptly dispose of accounts that publish harmful content in accordance with the law and regulations. Once again, it is necessary to strengthen parents' restraint on their children and do a good job in family education. On the issue of short video addiction, parents should lead by example and reduce the time spent online and browsing short videos; On the other hand, it is necessary to reasonably restrain children's online behavior and help them develop self-discipline habits. Finally, promote the correct use of short video software and guide young people to use short video software scientifically and rationally. Government departments and short video platforms can launch public service announcement and activities to remind young people to pay attention to network security and personal privacy protection. Short video platforms can improve the content ecosystem by optimizing traffic placement and encouraging users to upload high content
