also bar users under the age of 18 from accessing the internet from 10pm to 6am.

Meanwhile, a tiered system will mean those under the age of eight will be permitted a maximum of 40 minutes of usage a day, with up to two hours permitted for 16 and 17-year-olds.

Children aged between eight to 16 will have their time limit capped at one hour. ‘Teenager mode’

The proposed reforms are open to public feedback as part of a consultation process scheduled to run until Sept 2.

No, it's related to teacher's reporting on students. In China, you do have a permanent record and your schoolteacher is the first person who's adding to it. You have a class monitor, who is chosen by a teacher or by class referendum, (I can't remember which), and his/her job is communication between classmates and teachers. Secondary function is reporting on classmates' personal lives. This continues from elementary school thru university.
