I would like to know how you think about this. Personally, I think it's a very good ordinance. It's not enforced, but encouraged. We should correct the situation that Xitter users and Tiktokers are getting brainfucked by spreading conspiracies.

If it were an enforced cap, I'd be wondering who it was that had the shares in a desktop/laptop/"real computer" manufacturer—forbidding smartphones ≠ forbidding screens or Internet access.
