According to the WeChat official account of the Cyberspace Administration of China, in order to further improve the efficiency of the model, based on the new situation and new requirements of the online protection of minors, the Cyberspace Administration of China has researched and drafted the “Guidelines for the Construction of the Mobile Internet Minor Model (Draft for Comment)” (hereinafter “Draft for Opinions” for short), will comprehensively upgrade the “teenager mode” to “minor mode”, promote the coverage of the mode from APP to mobile smart terminals and application stores, and realize the three-party linkage of software and hardware, so that users can enter the mode with one key. Create a safe and healthy online environment for minors.
The opinion draft proposes that the entry setting of the minor model should ensure the principle of simplicity. Users can enter the underage mode through at least 3 ways, such as power-on reminder, desktop icon, and system settings. The mode entrance should be in a fixed location, convenient and easy to find, and satisfy parents and minor users to enter or switch with one button. When a user logs in to the minor mode for the first time, the smart mobile terminal should provide multiple ways for the user to choose at the entrance, such as setting birthday, selecting age or age range, and allowing multiple minor information to be set. When exiting the minor mode, parents need to verify and agree. Based on the existing mobile smart terminal authentication mechanism, parents can choose password, fingerprint, face and other recognition methods for single or combined verification.
The following is the full text of the draft for comments:
